Enter the height (cm) and the weight (kg) into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Body Surface Area from the Mostellar Equation. 

Body Surface Area from the Mostellar Equation Formula

BSA = SQRT(H*W/3600)

Variables:

  • BSA is the Body Surface Area from the Mostellar Equation (m^2)
  • H is the height (cm)
  • W is the weight (kg)

To calculate Body Surface Area from the Mostellar Equation, multiply the height and weight, divide by 3600, then take the square root of the result.

How to Calculate Body Surface Area from the Mostellar Equation?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Body Surface Area from the Mostellar Equation.

  1. First, determine the height (cm). 
  2. Next, determine the weight (kg). 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = BSA = SQRT(H*W/3600).
  4. Finally, calculate the Body Surface Area from the Mostellar Equation.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

height (cm) = 90

weight (kg) = 120
