About BSA Formulas

Du Bois & Du Bois (1916)

BSA = 0.007184 × Height^0.725 × Weight^0.425

Most widely used formula

Mosteller (1987)

BSA = √(Height × Weight / 3600)

Simplest and easiest to calculate

Haycock (1978)

BSA = 0.024265 × Height^0.3964 × Weight^0.5378

Good for pediatric patients

Gehan & George (1970)

BSA = 0.0235 × Height^0.42246 × Weight^0.51456

Validated for wide range of body sizes

Boyd (1935)

BSA = 0.0003207 × Height^0.3 × Weight^(0.7285 - 0.0188 × log(Weight))

Complex but accurate formula
