Predict your child's future adult height using the mid-parental height formula and current growth percentiles.
The Height Growth Predictor uses the well-established mid-parental height formula to estimate a child's potential adult height based on their parents' heights. This method is commonly used by pediatricians as a simple screening tool.
The 13 cm adjustment accounts for the average height difference between men and women. The result typically falls within ±8 cm of the actual adult height.
A height-for-age percentile estimate is also provided, comparing the child's current height to standard World Health Organization (WHO) growth reference data, based on their age in months.
Pediatricians use height prediction as a simple screening tool to identify potential growth disorders or hormonal issues early.
Monitor your child's growth trajectory over time to ensure they are developing within a healthy range compared to peers.
The mid-parental height formula provides a scientifically-grounded estimate of a child's genetic height potential from both parents.
Understanding expected growth ranges helps parents feel more confident about their child's development and know when to seek medical advice.
