A member asked:
Is there a more reliable calculation of predicted height involving both chronological age and bone age?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There is no formula: That is 100% accurate in predicting adult height. There is a downloadable formula that utilizes bone age. http://m.jcem.endojournals.org/content/94/12/4868.abstract.
