The Growth of the Surface Area of the Human Body by Univ Of Minnesota Press 
Dr. Boyd has reviewed in her monograph all the literature on the measurement and estimation of the surface area of the human body and has tabulated the data on 1,114 subjects. Most of her calculations are based on 231 subjects for whom the data were reasonably complete. She has analyzed statistically the various methods of measurement and 36 formulae for the estimation of body surface. The surface area of the body of human subjects and experimental animals has assumed greater prominence during the last two decades and at present is employed by many physiologists as a basis of reference for estimating basal metabolism, vital capacity, cardiac output, etc. Dr. Boyd is particularly interested in the anatomical relationship to growth and has included in her studies the prenatal as well as the postnatal period. This small monograph is carefully written, and it contains many valuable tables and figures. It will doubtless remain the standard work of reference for many years.Read more The Growth of the Surface Area of the Human Body
