Abstract
Body surface area of 208 males and 203 females was determined using the linear formula method of DuBois and DuBois. Surface area obtained by actual measurement is found to be greater than that calculated from the height and weight formula of DuBois and DuBois but lower than that of Banerjee, Rohatgi, Mukherjee and Sen for Indian females. A new formula to calculate the body surface area of Burmese subjects has been derived and a nomogram based on this formula has been prepared.
