Boer derived equations for red cell volume based on height, weight, lean body mass and body surface area.

0.0335 * (kg LBM) |
where:
• BSA = body surface area in square meters
• LBM = lean body mass
• Boer's equation for estimating lean body mass from height and weight are given in 02.01.12.
The red cell volume can be estimated from lean body mass independent of gender:
