A member asked:
Her period began at the age of 11. she's 12 now and 4ft8. her mom's 4ft11 and her dad's 5ft8. is her growth normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal : You can calculate the average height for girls by subtracting 13 cm from the father's height and average with the mother's height. 8.5 cm on either side of this calculated value (target height) represents the 3rd to 97th percentiles for anticipated adult height. Your height falls on 3rd percentile of normal adult height. .
