    This study found a significant link between parents' adult height and their children's expected adult height. The correlation strengthens as children age, aiding in predicting final stature.

    Area of Science:

    • Genetics and Human Biology
    • Pediatrics
    • Anthropometry

    Context:

    • Investigated the genetic heritability of height in children.
    • Utilized data from a large cohort of 15,381 healthy children of French descent, aged 4 to 18 years.
    • Examined the relationship between parental stature and offspring's predicted adult height.

    Purpose:

    • To establish and quantify the correlation between parental height and a child's expected adult height.
    • To determine if this correlation changes with the child's age.
    • To introduce a calculable method for predicting a child's adult height based on parental measurements.

    Summary:

    • A significant and important correlation was observed between the attained adult height of parents and the expected adult height of their children.

  • Correlation coefficients demonstrated an increasing trend with the age of the children studied.
  • A method involving diagrams or program cards and a manual calculator was proposed for calculating a child's theoretical adult height.

    • Impact:

    • Provides valuable data for pediatricians and school medical professionals.
    • Aids in anticipating potential growth patterns and identifying deviations from expected height trajectories.
    • Offers a practical tool for estimating adult height, relevant for medical and educational contexts.
