Child Height Predictor Calculator Pakistan
Predict your child's adult height based on parents' heights and the child's gender. Uses the mid-parental height method commonly used by paediatricians.
Introduction
Height is largely determined by genetics, though nutrition and health also play a role. The mid-parental height method is a simple formula used by paediatricians to estimate a child's genetic height potential. It gives a target range, not an exact prediction — most children end up within about 5 cm of the estimate.
What is this calculator?
The Child Height Predictor Calculator Pakistan estimates a child's adult height based on the father's and mother's heights and the child's gender.
Formula
For Boys： (Father's height + Mother's height + 13 cm) ÷ 2
For Girls： (Father's height + Mother's height − 13 cm) ÷ 2
Result ± 5 cm gives the likely range.
How to use the calculator
- Select the child's gender.
- Enter father's height (cm).
- Enter mother's height (cm).
- Click Predict Height.
Practical Pakistan-specific example
Example： Boy, father 175 cm, mother 160 cm
- Predicted adult height = (175 + 160 + 13) ÷ 2 = 174 cm
- Likely range: 169 – 179 cm
Common mistakes
- Treating the prediction as exact — it is an estimate.
- Ignoring nutrition, sleep, and exercise, which also affect height.
- Using outdated parental heights.
