Predicting your height

by **Matt** on Sat Aug 02, 2003 10:06 pm

OK, some ppl wonder how tall they will end up when hey have fully developed, and i have promised to find a formula to help

the following is from the "Guinness Book Of Answers"

ok, this list will show your average % of mature height........err, if that makes sense
basically the %ages indicate how much % of your expected height you have already grown

Age
13 87.3%
14 91.5%
15 96.1%
16 98.3%
17 99.3%
18 99.8%

the formula is X x 100/%, where X is your current height in inches and % is the % that your age reprents

for example, i'm 68 inches tall and 17 years old, so my formula looks like this

68x100/99.3 and that equals 68.47inches, which is 173.9cm, and now i'm 172.72 cm, so i will grow a furhter 1.18cm

1inch=2.54cm

if this formula is correct then im gonna be 194,9 cm tall! (right now im 172cm tall...over 20cm to grow! )

im gonna be 6'4...if this works...

62.2x100/87.3 is mine

so, you times 62.2 by 100 than divide that by 87.3? if so than i will be 71.25(rounded).
so i will grow:
71.25
-62.20
9.05 inches, so that is 22.987 i believe, so i will grow about 9 inches or 23cm... huh so 71.25 is wow, 5'11 1/4" inches, and the thing my mom did was 5'11" too, so huh, i guess i won't reach 6 feet

but wait with shoes that is an extra inch, yay, i will be 6 feet with shoes, most likely

69x100/91.5= 75.4...191 cms

yay!

some docters over here predicted that I will become 6´5. Right now im 15 (16 in a month) and my current height is 6´1. I calculated my height in the formula and it says that I will become 1.88 m (6´2 I believe)

68.5 x 100/99.3= 68.98

Basically 5'10...there goes my nba drem :cry:

sry to say but 69 inches is 5'9" but you can make the nba if you 5'9", you just have to be good, real good. :wink:

what? what do you mean?

I mean that they made it to the NBA as small guys, so it doesnt mean that someone who´s 5´6 can 4-get the NBA

This is accurate surprisingly

well this formula obviously doesnt factor in genetics at all...because im like 6'-0" without a growth spurt and supposedly will be 6'7".....but o well im gonna try it out (i didnt even look at the formula

Website · by **madskillionaire** on Sun Aug 03, 2003 10:41 pm

well...im more than sure from being 70" that i will only be 72".....

by **LeBron James** on Sun Aug 03, 2003 11:17 pm

185 cm

by **Blaz** on Mon Aug 04, 2003 8:14 am

72.44 inches [184 cm] x 100/87.3 = 82.97 inches ~ 210.74 centimeters ~ 6'9"

but when i'm turning 14 next month, i think that this would be a bit realer:

72.44 inches [184 cm] x 100/91.5 = 79.17 inches ~ 201.09 centimeters ~ 6'6"

yeah itz a small town...i know where it is but haven't been there yet...

by **Colin** on Tue Aug 05, 2003 11:55 am

Haven't been to Golden and apparently I'd be 5'11'', but I haven't a growth spurt since I was 8 so I might break 6'0''.

this formula is (N)

because nobody growth everyday .the growth may stop at age 16 or 17,nobody knows that.185 cm me no,i growth atleast 190.

yes but on average you should of reached your full height by age 18. oh and ya you do grow everyday(mostly) bu very very little, like half a millimetre or something. and i don't think this folmula is 100% i think it might be about 90% accurete so it is pretty close to what you will be

i found another one, i did it and it said i would be 69.80 something so rounded up that is 5'10" so that means on 4 tests i have done i got around 5'10", 5'11".
here this one is

for boys = (mother’s height+13cm)+ father’s height + 8cm divided by 2

for girls = Mother’s height + (father’s height - 13cm) + 8cm divided by 2
