To which other list should I direct thsi question?

We need urgently a formula for the human body surface in terms of
body height and body weight. In Medicine (Physiology and Dermatology)
they often use the DUBOIS formula. I wonder, whether someone in the
meantime has developed a more modern formula? If I remember correctly
Dubois developed his formula by covering the whole surface of humans
by self adherent triangles of aluminium foil, then gathering all the
metal into a ball and weighing afterwards the aluminium.
Then by doing regression on height and weight his formula emerged.

Could this really astonishing capable virtual brain this list often
seems alike to me give some thoughts to this problem?
from tomography and some projection formulas, but I don't know

Someone here intends to uese the following formula:

      body surface = ( body weght in kg / 100 ) ** 2

It looks simple, but is reality so simple indeed?

Dubois's Formula shows much more complexity but this may come
from his regression models only. I hear that almost all distinct parts
of the human body can be approximated fairly well by cylinders, but which
radii should be used?
