Convert Height & Weight to BSA Data

To calculate body surface area (BSA) from height and weight data, first use the Mosteller formula which takes a person's height in centimeters and weight in kilograms to calculate their BSA in square meters. The formula is: BSA (m2) = √(Weight (kg) x Height (cm)/3600). This formula provides a more accurate BSA measurement than other methods and is useful for medical purposes such as determining drug dosages.
