A member asked:
My brother is 56 at 12 and a half, my mom is 51 and dad is 61 how tall is my brother going to be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The expected final height of males is the average of both parents plus 2.5 inches +/- an inch. Here that calculates to 5'7.5". An x-ray of his wrist/hand might show growth plates that suggest he could have more height potential or that he are nearing his final height. My suspicion from listed height at 12.5 is that he may grow taller than the predicted height.
