            Understanding Body Surface Area

            BSA by Du Bois, Mosteller and Haycock formulas. Within health calculators, body surface area belongs to the body composition cluster, where it shares terminology and assumptions with closely related tools.

            Learning how body surface area is calculated

            BSA is widely used for dosing medication and indexing cardiac output. Working through the variables one at a time — BSA — makes the result reproducible by hand and easier to sanity-check.

            Using body surface area to make a decision

            Because outputs depend on the assumptions you enter, run more than one scenario before committing to a figure.

            How body surface area compares with related measures

            fat mass, lean mass, adiposity, percentile all describe adjacent aspects of body composition. Comparing this calculator's output against those measures — using the related tools listed on this page — prevents a single metric from being read in isolation.
