A member asked:
Mom is 170cm my father is taller so will i be able to grow to 184cm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Expected height: The expected height by genetic factors is simple. Add mom+dad & divide by 2. Add 5cm if male and subtract 5cm if female to get expected height.Individuals can vary from this standard but it is usually accurate within a few cm.
