Child Height Projection
Estimate adult height from parents' heights using the mid-parental method.
The mid-parental method estimates adult height from both parents' heights with a margin of about 8.5 cm either way — a 163 cm mother and 178 cm father give a son a projected 177 cm within a range of 168.5 to 185.5.
