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.
