BMI & BSA Calculator
Welcome to the BMI & BSA Calculator
Understanding your body's metrics is essential for maintaining a healthy lifestyle and guiding your fitness or medical journey. Use our tools below to calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI) and Body Surface Area (BSA) easily. Additionally, explore average and optimal values to help you interpret your results.
What is BMI?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple metric used to estimate whether a person's weight is appropriate for their height. It is commonly used to assess risks associated with underweight, overweight, or obesity.
Optimal BMI Range:
- 18.5 – 24.9: Healthy weight range.
- < 18.5: Underweight.
- 25 – 29.9: Overweight.
- 30 and above: Obese.
Note: While BMI is a helpful screening tool, it does not account for factors such as muscle mass or body composition.
What is BSA?
Body Surface Area (BSA) represents the external surface area of the body and is often used in medical settings to calculate dosages for medication or evaluate metabolic functions.
Average BSA Values:
- Men: ~1.9 m²
- Women: ~1.6 m²
- Children: ~0.7–1.4 m² (varies with age).
Why Monitor BMI & BSA?
Monitoring BMI and BSA helps individuals and healthcare professionals understand and address health risks, medication dosages, and overall well-being. However, always consult healthcare providers for personalized advice.
