Height Estimator Calculator
How to Use the Height Estimator
This calculator uses the heights of both parents, the child’s gender, current age, and current height to estimate the final adult height of the child.
Steps:
- Enter the mother’s height in centimeters.
- Enter the father’s height in centimeters.
- Select the gender of the child.
- Enter the child’s current age in years.
- Enter the child’s current height in centimeters.
- Click on the “Calculate” button to see the estimated height when the child reaches adulthood.
How the Calculation Works
The initial height estimate is based on the calculated average parental height, adjusted slightly for the child’s gender:
For boys: (Mother’s Height + 13 cm + Father’s Height) ÷ 2
For girls: (Mother’s Height + (Father’s Height – 13 cm)) ÷ 2
This gender-neutral estimate is then adjusted using the child’s current age and height to project growth potential to full adult height.
Limitations
While this calculator provides a rough estimate, actual adult height is influenced by various factors including genetics, nutrition, overall health, and environmental conditions. It cannot account for late growth spurts or other growth patterns. For accurate growth tracking and predictions, consult a healthcare provider.
