Simple calculation to know how high your child will be

The formula for measuring the future height of a child is calculated based on the height of the parent . Although not the absolute result, this formula has been used since 1970 until now.

Researchers have found a simple mathematical formula, although there are still errors, helping parents to predict the future height of their children. This simple formula is also used by most pediatricians. This is not a completely accurate way but you can trust " Most (not all) children will reach a height within a relatively small range of +/- 5cm , which can be surmised. through average combined height of their father and mother ".

The height of the child may be affected by factors such as genetic genes , ie if the family has a low parent, it is often born low children. Of course, there are other factors that affect the future height of children such as nutrition, hormones, medicines, health conditions. In addition, exercise, diet, pollution, sleep, climate and well-being can also affect children's growth.

Today, we will share with you this simple calculation method that helps you know the height of your child in the future. The formula applied to boys and girls is slightly different, as follows:

The future height of boys = [(height of the father in cm + the height of the mother in cm): 2] + 6,5cm

Example: Dad height: 182cm; Mother height: 160cm

The future height of boys: [(182 +160): 2] + 6.5 = 177.5cm

The height of boys is 177.5 cm which may be lower or higher than 5cm.

The future height of the girl = [(height of the father in cm + the height of the mother in cm): 2] - 6.5cm

Example: Dad height: 182cm; Mother height: 160cm

Future height of girls: [(182 +160): 2] - 6.5 = 164.5cm

The height of boys is 177.5 cm which may be lower or higher than 5cm.
