For education. Check every result.
Anatium is a study resource, not medical advice. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a prescription or a substitute for a clinician who has seen the patient. Check every number against a current local protocol before it touches anyone, and never act on a result you cannot reproduce yourself.
How it is calculated
Mosteller formula: √((height cm × weight kg) / 3600). Normal adult: 1.7-2.0 m².
About
Body surface area, used mainly to dose chemotherapy and to index cardiac output. Estimated from height and weight by formula, not measured.
