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%.
Domande frequenti
- 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.
