Yet another height prediction formula and method
The observation that family members tend to be of similar stature is born out by formulas designed to predict height. One commonly quoted formula uses parental height and gender to predict adult height (in inches) as follows: For men: (height of mother + height of father + 5)/2. For women: (height of mother + height of father – 5)/2. If you know your parents’ heights, see if this formula predicts yours well; for most people, this will accurately predict your height within 2 or 3 inches.
As always, you can also get an automated height prediction.
