Validation of Body Surface Area Equations for Estimating Fat-Free Mass by Dual X-Ray Absorptiometry in a Regional Chilean Sample Aged 4 to 85 Years [PDF]

Diagnostics
Background/Objectives: Body surface area (BSA) is an important metric that represents human dimensionality and could provide a more accurate representation of body composition. The objectives were (a) to verify the validity of a set of equations based on

An improvement of body surface area formulas using the 3D scanning technique [PDF]

International Journal of Occupational Medicine and Environmental Health
Objectives Body surface area (BSA) is one of the major parameters used in several medical fields. However, there are concerns raised about its usefulness, mostly due to the ambiguity of its estimation.

Determination of Body Surface Area and Formulas to Estimate Body Surface Area Using the Alginate Method

Journal of Physiological Anthropology, 2008
The purpose of this study was to determine the body surface area (BSA) based on the alginate method, to derive formulae for estimating BSA, and to compare the error of the present formula to previous formulas obtained from other countries. We directly measured the entire body surface area of 34 males (20-60 years old, 158.5-187.5 cm in height, 48.5-103.

Body surface area is positively associated with ankle-brachial index [PDF]

Science Progress
Background Ankle-brachial index (ABI) measurement is a widely used diagnostic test for lower extremity artery disease. Previously, a larger body surface area (BSA) has been associated with lower blood pressure and lower 2-h post-load glucose ...

Normal renal size by body-surface-area renal volume using ultrasound in a population aged 0-18 years from Aguascalientes state, Mexico

Journal of the Mexican Federation of Radiology and Imaging, 2023
Introduction: No standardized measurements of normal renal size exist in the Mexican pediatric population. The aims of this study were to (1) determine renal volume by ultrasound (US) adjusted for body surface area to define normal renal size and (2 ...

Reference diameter and characteristics of the distal radial artery based on ultrasonographic assessment [PDF]

The Korean Journal of Internal Medicine, 2022
Background/Aims While distal radial artery (DRA) access is increasingly being used for diagnostic coronary angiography, limited information is available regarding DRA size. We aimed to determine the DRA reference diameters of Korean patients and identify

Growth Hormone Dosing Estimations Based on Body Weight Versus Body Surface Area

JCRPE, 2023
INTRODUCTION: Both body weight (BW)- and body surface area (BSA)-based dosing regimens have been recommended for growth hormone (rhGH) replacement. The aim was to compare the two regimens to determine if either resulted in inadequate treatment depending ...

Determination of hand and palm area as a ratio of body surface area in Indian population

Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2010
Background: Accurate estimation of body surface area (BSA) burn is important. In small and patchy burns, the patient′s hand is used to estimate percentage of burn which is traditionally considered as 1%.
