Expert Tip

Mosteller formula is widely preferred in clinical settings due to its simplicity and accuracy across pediatric and adult populations.

Calculation Methodology & Details

๐Ÿ“

Formula

Mosteller: BSA = โˆš[(H ร— W) / 3600] Du Bois: BSA = 0.007184 ร— W^0.425 ร— H^0.725 Haycock: BSA = 0.024265 ร— W^0.5378 ร— H^0.3964

W is weight in kg, H is height in cm. BSA is expressed in square meters (mยฒ). Imperial values are converted before calculation.
