Body Surface Calculator
Body surface area is the surface measurement of the human body. It is an indicator of a person’s mass and weight. Determining body surface area is important for physicians to know. This aids a doctor when prescribing medicines to patients especially children as dosage.
The Body Surface Area Calculation was developed by Drs. Du Bois and Du Bois. There are other similar formulas that give slightly different results. But whatever the formula may be, the importance of knowing your body surface area remains important.
