A child's future adult height is a common concern for many parents, yet it is difficult to estimate accurately. This tool is based on commonly used height prediction formulas in genetics. By entering the father's and mother's heights along with the child's gender, it quickly calculates the child's potential adult height range. It processes parental height data in centimeters (cm) and uses a specific weighted algorithm (such as adding/subtracting a specific constant to the parents' average height) to generate a reference interval, helping you understand your child's genetic growth potential.
Q: What is the formula for child height prediction?
This tool primarily relies on a simplified model: For boys, predicted height ≈ (father's height + mother's height + 13) / 2 ± 5 cm; for girls, predicted height ≈ (father's height + mother's height - 13) / 2 ± 5 cm. This provides an estimated range of genetic potential based on the parents' heights.
Q: Are the prediction results accurate?
The prediction results are for reference only. Height is comprehensively influenced by multiple factors including genetics, nutrition, exercise, sleep, illness, and environment. This calculation only reflects genetic trends and cannot replace actual growth and development monitoring or medical assessments.
Please ensure the parental height data entered is accurate (using stable adult heights is recommended). The calculated result is only a probabilistic reference interval, not a definitive value. This tool does not collect or store any personal data, ensuring privacy and security. Currently, it only supports single calculations and does not support batch predictions or file uploads. If non-numeric or extreme values are entered, the results may not be meaningful.
The prediction model used by this tool is a statistical trend estimation, suitable for healthy children in normal growth environments. For professional pediatricians, bone age assessment is a more accurate method for predicting growth potential. Parents can use this result as a long-term, trend-based reference, combining it with regular height measurements and growth charts to comprehensively judge their child's development. Do not become anxious over a single prediction result; actively ensuring your child has balanced nutrition, adequate sleep, and reasonable exercise is the key to promoting healthy growth.
Typical Input/Output Example: If you enter a father's height of 178 cm, a mother's height of 165 cm, and the child's gender as male, the output might be a predicted height range of "approx. 179.5 cm - 189.5 cm" (exact values may vary slightly due to minor formula differences).
