Equations of anthropometric parameters

Anthropometric
parameters
Unit Equation
Body mass index (BMI) kg/m2 = TBW / HT(m)2
Body surface area (BSA) m2 = TBW0.425 * HT(cm)0.725 * 0.007184
Ideal body weight (IBW) kg = 45.4 + 0.89 * (HT(cm) - 152.4) + 4.5 for male
= 45.4 + 0.89 * (HT(cm) - 152.4) for female
Lean body weight (LBW) kg = 1.1 * TBW - 0.0128 * BMI * TBW for male
= 1.07 * TBW - 0.0148 * BMI * TBW for female
Fat free mass (FFM) kg = 0.285 * TBW + 12.1 * HT(m)2 for male
= 0.287 * TBW + 9.74 * HT(m)2 for female

TBW, total body weight; HT, height.
