What is an unhealthy body fat percentage for an 11 year old boy weighing 94 pounds and at 5'4 tall?
The given values show that you are severely underweight, but this is very hard to define to be true due to your age. People that are in your age group shouldn't even worry about their body fat percentage - yours is probably very low and you shouldn't take any worry about it. The age where you can and should start taking careful control of your body fat is around 17, since this is the age where it is safe to control it if you happen to be underweight or overweight.
Also, it is hard to define body fat percentage with only those values and due to your young age. The BMI calculator is also very inaccurate in these situations since they are meant for adults.

Is a BMI of 24 too high for an 8 year old girl?
It is said that having a BMI under 18 is classed as underweight and a BMI over 25 is classed as overweight. 24 isn't bad for an eight year old as you have to have put in her height and weight in order for this to work. However you will need to make sure she eats the right diet and cuts down on snacking (if she does) and high in fat/sugary foods in order for her to not reach that 25 mark. Try taking her for long walks, or even swimming just to burn off some fat she may be carrying. Please dont worry about this as she is perfectly normal as her BMI is not over 25. I hope this helps

How BMI is not a perfect tool?
It doesn't factor in muscle mass, which is more dense than fat is. Notice how some bodybuilders or professional football players can weigh a lot. If you took some of their BMI's, they would probably almost all fit into the overweight or obese range. However, they aren't overweight at all, and not unhealthy, but BMI would say they were. That's why, in some cases, a body fat test is more accurate, and BMI should just be used as a general guideline. Take it with a grain of salt!
What is the difference between BMI and BSA?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure that uses a person's weight and height to assess whether they are underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese. It is calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by the square of height in meters. Body Surface Area (BSA), on the other hand, estimates the total surface area of the body, often used in medical settings for dosing medications and assessing metabolic functions. BSA is typically calculated using formulas that consider weight and height, making it more relevant for certain clinical applications than BMI.
