The BSA Comparison formula compares a body surface area to the average of one of the specified demographics and provides a percentage.  The formula is:

            BSA%= BSAμD

Demographic Means

The mean values for the demographics (μD)  are as follows:

Mean Body Surface Area (male and female)
Age Range Male Female
Neonate 0.243 m² 0.234 m²
2 years old 0.563 m² 0.54 m²
5 years old 0.787 m² 0.771 m²
10 years old 1.236 m² 1.245 m²
13 years old 1.603 m² 1.55 m²
18 years old 1.98 m² 1.726 m²
20 to 79 years old 2.06 m² 1.83 m²
80 and above 1.92 m² 1.638 m²
