body_surface_area

Predict body surface area.

Description

Predict body surface area from weight, height, and age, using Mosteller's formula for age>18 and Haycock's formula for age<18

Usage

body_surface_area(BW, H, age_years)

Arguments

`BW`	A vector of body weights in kg.
`H`	A vector of heights in cm.
`age_years`	A vector of ages in years.

Value

A vector of body surface areas in cm^2.
