Child Height Predictor
Predicted adult height using the mid-parental height method.
Formula: Mid-parental height method
Worth Knowing
The mid-parental method averages the parents' heights and adjusts by sex to estimate a child's adult height, and it works because height is strongly heritable — but genes are only part of the story. Nutrition, overall health, and timing of puberty all shift the outcome, and the prediction carries a margin of roughly ±10 cm. It's a fun estimate rather than a forecast; a pediatrician tracking a child's growth curve over time gives a far more reliable projection.
