Maybe because you don't work out? BMI is a very flawed system for those who have more muscle then a 10 year old boy.

No, more to do with illness and surgery.

I don't think the maths are based around the muscle mass of a 10 year old boy. But yes, it is slightly flawed for those who 'body build' to any degree. It can work for someone who is generally fit though. The trade off of less fat and slightly more muscle of a fit person would still produce a figure that makes sense.
