GlossaryBody Surface Area (BSA)

measurement of the total surface area of the human body

Body Surface Area (BSA) is a measurement used to estimate the total surface area of the human body. It is often used in medical contexts to calculate drug dosages, assess metabolic rates, and evaluate the severity of burns. BSA is typically calculated using formulas that take into account a person's weight and height, such as the Mosteller formula.
