Recently, Chongqing netizens shared a video in which a pediatric chief physician sat in the clinic: the mother of a child came to consult a doctor because she and her husband were not tall, worried about her son's future height.
The doctor asked about the height of the child's parents, and after learning that the father was 1 meter 65 tall and the mother was 1 meter 5, the doctor said: the father's height plus the mother's height plus 13 and then divided by 2, the boy can only grow to 164cm. Floating up and down 5 centimeters, about the highest 1 meter 7, if the nutrition can not keep up, he may only be 1 meter 59. Doctors say: Find a way to reach his highest height before the end of puberty.
How tall this mother's child can grow, this netizen has no time to worry, but the "height formula" inadvertently revealed by the doctor has made netizens not calm for a while.
"This kind of doctor is irresponsible, my neighbor is 1 meter 75 for men, 1 meter 6 for women, 2 meters for men and 1 meter 9 for their 3 children, 1 meter 75 for women, what do you say?" Parents are after 70, children are after 90. ”
"My 178 my wife 159 adds up to 337+13 to get 350, divide by 2 to get 175, plus or minus 5 then my son is best 180, the lowest is 170, my 13-year-old son is already 177." This calculation has a certain reference value. ”
"If one side of the family gene is high, the other side of the family gene is short, the child may not be with that side." It can be tall or short. This algorithm is just a normal approximate range, up and down is 10cm difference. ”
In the comment area, there is no shortage of netizens who use real-life cases to "punch" the doctor. What must be said here is that if the formula is scientifically proven, it does not mean that it is 100% accurate. But it cannot be completely denied its authority, but it can only be said that it is accurate for most people, and the rest of the inaccurate parts can be summarized into the range of "genetic mutations".
