Body Surface Area (BSA) Calculator
Calculate Body Surface Area using the standard Mosteller formula based on height and weight.
Why is BSA Important?
Body Surface Area (BSA) is the measured or calculated surface area of a human body. It is heavily utilized in medical and clinical settings, particularly for calculating dosages for chemotherapy or glucocorticoids, because BSA is a more accurate indicator of metabolic mass than body weight alone.
The Mosteller Formula
Our calculator uses the Mosteller formula, which is widely adopted due to its simplicity and accuracy across various body types: Square Root of ((Height in cm x Weight in kg) / 3600).
