What is Body Surface Area (BSA)?

Body Surface Area (BSA) is the total surface area of a human body. It is often used in clinical medicine rather than body weight because it is a more accurate indicator of metabolic mass and blood volume.

The Mosteller Formula

This calculator uses the Mosteller formula, which is widely used in pediatric and adult clinical settings:

BSA (m²) = √([Height(cm) × Weight(kg)] / 3600)

Typical values for adults range from 1.6 to 1.9 m² for women and 1.9 to 2.2 m² for men.
