Body Surface Area (BSA)

There are several formulas to calculate human body surface area. The popular once are Du Bois and Mosteller. Body surface area is mainly used for clinical purposes like medicine dosage calculations, etc...


Formulas To Calculate Body Surface Area

1. Du Bois Formula:

BSA = Wt0.425 x Ht0.725 x 0.007184


2. Mosteller Formula:

BSA = Wt0.5 x Ht0.5 x 0.016667


3. Haycock Formula:

BSA = Wt0.5378 x Ht0.3964 x 0.024265


4. Gehan and George Formula:

BSA = Wt0.51456 x Ht0.42246 x 0.0235


5. Boyd Formula:

BSA = Wt(0.6157 - 0.0188 log10 Wt) x Ht0.3 x 0.0333


6. Fujimoto Formula:

BSA = Wt0.444 x Ht0.663 x 0.008883


7. Takahira Formula:

BSA = Wt0.425 x Ht0.725 x 0.007241


8. Schlich Formula

BSA for Women= Wt0.46 x Ht1.08 x 0.000975482

BSA for Men= Wt0.38 x Ht1.24 x 0.000579479


For all the above formulas:

  • BSA = Body Surface Area in m2.
  • Ht = Height in Meters (m).
  • Wt = Weight in kilograms (Kg).
