Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Calculate body surface area using the DuBois formula: BSA = 0.007184 x height(cm)^0.725 x weight(kg)^0.425, used as the primary dosing basis for chemotherapy agents

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • DuBois formula: BSA = 0 — The dubois formula: bsa = 0 recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the bsa dubois result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the DuBois formula: BSA = 0 for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate body surface area using the DuBois formula: BSA = 0.007184 x height(cm)^0.725 x weight(kg)^0.425, used as the primary dosing basis for chemotherapy agents. Use the bsa dubois result to inform your calculation.
