Hi my cousin hes wondering how tall he will be, he is 5'7 and turning 15, mom is 5'6 and dad 5'10 but close reletives at 6' how tall will he be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Genetically 5'11'': If you base it on parental heights, the formula endocrinologists use for boys is maternal height plus six inches, then add paternal height and divide by 2. The estimate for this particular case is 5'11'', which is very close to 6 feet.
