How can u determine your future height?

Posted at: 2015-01-07 
Well, my dad is 6,2 and my mom is 5,3 and I'm only 13 and 5,7 I really want to know how tall I will be please help!!

Based on a regression analysis of the population of families during the last 50 years, I have determined the following estimates for you:





Expected height = 5' 8"



Tallest possible height = 5' 11" (there is less than a 1% chance of this event occurring)

There are some guidelines based on the height of your parents but they are only that and they have a resasonable range in their estimates.

"Your child's adult height will likely fall within 4 inches or 10 centimeters of that number"





I'm not sure how to interpet that. Does that mean if the number is 5' 10" your final height should be between 5' 8" to 6' 0" (a range of 4 inches) or is it 5' 10" +/- 4". That covers everything from 5' 6" to 6' 2" and covers a significant proportion of the male population in North America I would guess. In that case the formula is pretty useless in my opinion.

There really isn't a way to determine your height. In fact, identical twins aren't even the same height (they are very similar though).

You could grow half inch more....





( 5.3 + 6.2 ) / 2 = 5.75
