What is Mid-Parental Height?

Mid-parental height is a method to estimate a child's adult height based on the average of both parents' heights, adjusted for the child's gender.

For boys: (Mother's height + Father's height + 13 cm) / 2. For girls: (Mother's height + Father's height - 13 cm) / 2.

Factors Affecting Height

Genetics: Parents' heights are the strongest predictors
Nutrition: Adequate nutrition during growth years is essential
Health: Chronic illnesses can affect growth
Hormones: Growth hormone levels impact final height
Environment: Socioeconomic factors play a role

How Accurate is This Prediction?

Mid-parental height predictions are typically accurate within ±10 cm (4 inches). Genetics account for about 80% of height variation, with environmental factors making up the remaining 20%.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

How accurate is the mid-parental height calculator?: The calculator is typically accurate within ±10 cm (4 inches). It accounts for genetic factors but cannot predict the influence of nutrition, health, or environmental factors.
At what age does a child reach their adult height?: Girls typically reach their full adult height by age 14-16, while boys continue growing until age 16-18. Growth spurts vary individually.
Can a child be taller than both parents?: Yes. While uncommon, children can be taller than both parents due to recessive tall genes, better nutrition, or other environmental factors.
Do boys and girls use different formulas?: Yes. The formula adds 13 cm (5 inches) for boys and subtracts 13 cm for girls to account for average height differences between genders.
