I am in great need of you advice. 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)
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).
(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.
No, but there is nothing you can do about your height, just eat healthy and you will be as tall as you are supposed to be, my family averages about 5'-5" to 5'-9", but my sister is almost 6ft and my uncles on my moms side were all over 6 ft tall. You could hit the 5'-9" mark. Don't worry about it, there is nothing you can do about it anyway.
yes. eat more spinach
No, you could be inbetween those from 5"5 to 5"11. Just make sure to stop drinking caffine- if you do found in ice tea and most sodas - those stunt your growth. Eat a lot of fruits and vegies too! :)
It is definately possible! considering that in each couple you mentioned there is someone at least taller than 5'6", I'd say you have a fairly good chance of being tall.
no beacause usaully you will be taller than your mother and fatherexept if you are very short when you were small but you may grow tall when you have grown up to 20
