This tool will estimate your potential final height based on your current height, age, and gender.
How to Use the Height Estimator Calculator
To use this height estimator, fill in the required fields:
- Father’s height in centimeters
- Mother’s height in centimeters
- Select the child’s sex (male or female)
- Enter the current height of the child in centimeters
- Enter the age of the child in years
- Select the estimated growth factor
Calculation Method
The calculator uses the mid-parental height method with some additional parameters for more accuracy. Here’s how it works:
- For boys: Add 13 cm to the mother’s height, and then average that result with the father’s height.
- For girls: Subtract 13 cm from the father’s height, and then average that result with the mother’s height.
Limitations
While this estimator provides a good approximate height prediction, it does have limitations:
- Genetics play a large role, but environmental factors like nutrition and health also significantly influence height.
- The growth factor is an estimation and may not perfectly reflect reality.
- This should not replace medical advice provided by healthcare professionals.
