Pediatrics
Pediatric BMI Calculator
Calculates BMI for children and teens aged 2–19 from weight and height. Use it during well-child visits or growth monitoring as a starting point — the result must be plotted on a CDC/WHO BMI-for-age percentile chart for interpretation.
Pediatrics
Pediatric Caloric Needs Calculator
Estimates a child's total daily calorie needs based on weight, age, and physical activity level. Used by parents, dietitians, and pediatricians to guide nutrition planning and assess feeding adequacy.
