Body Surface Area Calculator (Boyd)
Body Surface Area Calculator (Boyd): a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers height (cm). Stub page while the tool and its worked example are prepared.
Body Surface Area Calculator (Boyd) is a planned calculator in the health section of Super Calculator, covering energy and body composition.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: height (cm) and weight (kg).
Outputs: body surface area (m2).
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Boyd 1935: BSA uses a weight exponent that itself varies with weight, log10(weight_g) appearing in the exponent, which makes it the most complex of the classical BSA formulas to implement correctly.
