How tall do you think i will be when i grow up

I turned 13 years old on 10th August. I grew around 8 inches in the past 2 years. Lately I have only grown 3 cm in 6 months. I want to know whether I will be as tall as my dad. Test results yielded different results. But, I know that I should be happy with the height I get! It was so interesting and great funny though. The first method is very accurate! They are 15 and 13, late bloomers, but tracking their current height and weight in conjunction with parental stats produces very accurate results.

Only inputting parental stats is very inaccurate! My kids already surpass the predicted height based on just parental height. The kids are NOT an average of us. It could have gone either way. Additionally, baby measurements are not a good predictor because of varying growth rates. My babies were tiny! Now, my 13 year old is in the 97th percentile. So, gauging them between is probably the most accurate. Put it like this: You know how a long- term forecast is not accurate?

Short- term calculators predict the weather a day ahead. Since then, you've probably seen your height increase a few inches a year. You might find out how much you've grown during your annual checkup at the doctor's office or when your pants get too short. Uh, oh — we can see your ankles!

After babyhood, the next big growth spurt for kids comes during puberty, a time of many changes when boys and girls grow bigger and start to look more like adult men and women. But no one can tell you exactly when you'll experience these changes.

Puberty starts at different ages for different kids and it is a process that takes a couple of years. So the getting taller part will happen at different ages, depending on the kid, and whether he or she is a boy or a girl.

During puberty, boys and girls will have a growth spurt and grow to their adult height. So that means girls who start puberty the latest will still be getting taller in their mid-teens.

For boys, the latest to reach puberty will still be getting taller into their late teens. A few of these boys may grow taller even into their early twenties! You might want to know how tall you will be. Will you be nose to nose with your mom or dad someday? There's no way to know for sure how tall a kid will be as an adult, but it's easy to get a clue: Look at your parents and the other adult members of your family.

How tall are they? Chances are you'll be around the same height as your parents. If one parent is tall and one short, then you're likely to end up somewhere in between. But you could be taller or shorter, too. Boy, there are a lot of "buts" when it comes to height! That's because your height is determined by your genes — the complicated code of instructions that you inherit from your parents.

Genes tell your body how to grow and determine lots of things, including how tall you are. But those genes don't make you an exact copy of your mom or dad.

Kids only get some of the genes from each of their parents, and parents don't give the same bunch of their genes to each kid. If you have brothers and sisters, you know this is true. In total, there are 16 charts that contain data that can be used to compare the growth of a child over time. Measurements such as height, weight, and head circumference of a child can be compared to the expected values based on data from these growth charts of children of the same age and sex.

In general, children maintain a fairly constant growth curve, which is why these charts can be used to predict the adult height of a child to a certain extent. There are also some very simple, but less accurate, methods available. One of them is adding 2. The second calculator above is based on this method. Another simple method is to double the height achieved by the child by age 2 for a boy, or age 18 months for a girl. As mentioned above, very tall parents are more likely to have a taller child, while very short parents are more likely to have a shorter child, with the child being more likely than their parents to be closer to average height.

After the growth spurt during puberty, which differs slightly for girls and boys, neither will typically grow much more, and girls typically stop growing by 15, while boys stop at around 18 years of age. That being said, there are environmental factors that can affect the height of a child.

Some of these may be within the control of the child, while many may not. Nutrition and health of the mother during pregnancy can affect the height of their unborn child. Nutrition as well as exercise after birth can also affect height. Recommendations for providing the best conditions for your body to grow follow typical guidelines for healthy living in no particular order :.

In fringe cases, it is possible that some disease or condition could be hampering your growth, and it is possible that a doctor may be able to assist you in such a case, which may in turn affect height. For the most part however, peak height is reached by the time a child has gone through puberty, and it is likely that any child past puberty will maintain their height throughout adulthood.
