Description

von Schelling developed a formula for predicting the body surface area from height and weight.


 

Parameters:

(1) body weight in kilograms

(2) body height in centimeters

 

body surface area in square cm =

= 5.3175 * SQRT(10 * (body height in cm)) * (body weight in kilograms)

 

body surface area in square meters =

= (body surface area in square cm) / 10,000
