How to Estimate Human Height

Are you curious about how tall your child will grow? If you have an accurate height measurement for both the child and their parents, you can estimate what their final height will be. Genetics play a strong role in how tall somebody will become, but diet and general health are also contributing factors. A simple online calculator will tell you approximately how tall your child will be if his health is optimal. While it's not 100 percent accurate, this calculator remains one of the best height predictors around.
