Height problems, please help!?
Question:
My dad is 5'7, and my mom is 5'2.
My grandfather (from my dad) is 5'10
My grandmother (from my dad) is 5'2
My grandfather (from my mom) is 5'8
My grandmother (from my mom) is 5'2
Do you think I'm fooling myself thinking that I can be 5'9 or more?
Answers:
If you're still growing and you'd like to know how tall you could possibly be try using the following height calculator! To calculate your maximum natural height based on your parents and grandparents' height, use the following formula:
• Your father's height = F cm (inches)
• Your mother's height = M cm (inches)
• Your father's father's height = FF cm (inches)
• Your father's mother's height = FM cm (inches)
• Your mother's father's height = MF cm (inches)
• Your mother's mother's height = MM cm (inches)
If you are a male, with 95% certainty,
Your Maximum Natural Height in cm (inches) =
(F + M + FF + FM + MF + MM) / 6 * 1.08 + 8.8 cm (3.5 inches)
If you are a male, with 99% certainty,
Your Maximum Natural Height in cm (inches) =
(F + M + FF + FM + MF + MM) / 6 * 1.08 + 14 cm (5.5 inches)
If you are a female, with 95% certainty,
Your Maximum Natural Height in cm (inches) =
(F + M + FF + FM + MF + MM) / 6 * 0.92 + 6.4 cm (2.5 inches)
If you are a female, with 99% certainty,
Your Maximum Natural Height in cm (inches) =
(F + M + FF + FM + MF + MM) / 6 * 0.92 + 11.4 cm (4.5 inches)
Explanation: Extensive statistic and scientific research shows the average height of a man is equivalent to the average height of their parents and grandparents multiply by a conversion factor of 1.08. This will be most males' natural height. However, 95 out of 100 males' maximum possible natural height is below the sum of their natural height plus 8.8 cm (3.5 inches), and 99 out of 100 males' maximum possible natural height is below the sum of their natural height plus 14 cm (5.5 inches).
Similarly, the average height of a woman is equivalent to the average height of their parents and grandparents multiply by a conversion factor of 0.92. This will be most females' natural height. However, 95 out of 100 females' maximum possible natural height is below the sum of their natural height plus 6.4 cm (2.5 inches), and 99 out of 100 females' maximum possible natural height is below the sum of their natural height plus 11.4 cm (4.5 inches).
(5' 7"+5' 2"+5' 10"+5' 2"+5' 8"+5' 2")/6 = 5' 5.166"
(5' 5.166)X1.08 = 5' 10.38"
Your Maximum Natural Height = 5' 10.38"
For 95% certainty:
5' 10.38"+ 3.5" = 6' 1.88"
For 99% certainty:
5' 10.38" + 5.5" = 6' 3.88"
For 5% certainty :
5' 10.38- 3.5" = 5' 6.88"
Your height will be 5' 6" to 5' 7' if your height is now 5' 4" to 5' 5"
Height is determined by the complex interactive combination of genetics and environment. Genetic potential plus nutrition minus stressors is a basic formula.
Try to get additional 1" to 2" from nutrition and with less stress.
Nope, my dad is 5'11 and my mum is 5'4, all my grandparents are under 5'8 and I am 6'4 so you can be taller than any previous generation in your family.
No problem. Eat right, sleep right, exercise right. That will probably do the trick. Try consult your local doctor and ask for advice.
Depends on your luck, from whom your gene decides to grow into. The tallest you can get is probably 5'10 from your granddad and the shortest is 5'2.
The question here is does tall parents mean tall kids?
It is really hard to say whose height gene you are going to inherit. But generally based on the Darwinian Theory kids are growing taller these days which is helping them to survive in the hostile world.
You may end up being more than 5'10, or may not. It is really a wait and watch for 3-4 more years.
