As a parent, there is no child who does not like to grow tall, both men and women, having a straight height can greatly add to the external image.
We all know that the main factors affecting a child's height, mainly related to genetics, may account for more than 70%. The height of the parents will be inherited to the child, the general parent has a relatively high, the child is generally not short.
And how tall can the child grow in the future? Many parents want to make a prediction.
From the parents' height prediction, it can be calculated with the following formula:
Son's adult height (cm) = [(father height + mother height) ÷2] ×1.08
Daughter's adult height (cm) = (father's height ×0.923 + mother's height) ÷2
In addition, I also sorted out several parts that can roughly determine the child's future height, and if these parts are longer, then the child has the potential to grow taller. However, if this does not have the potential to grow tall, parents should not be discouraged, do more efforts to make up for the lack of genetics, and expect a great promotion effect on the increase of children. There are also many examples in life where parents are not tall and children are not tall.
This situation is usually closely related to the usual diet. Comprehensive nutrition, regular work and rest, love of sports, these are to promote the acquired development of children's height.
Certain parts of the body that are able to predict a child's height:
1. Feet
Feet and legs as the main support of the human body, usually tall people also have large feet, so the feet, big feet of the baby can grow taller. The foot is one of the most rapidly developing parts of the human body, and the "growth" of the foot is very closely related to the height of the baby, which is roughly synchronized.
2. Fingers
The human body is developed in proportion, and tall people usually have slender fingers, while short people have relatively short fingers.
3. Calves
What affects a child's height most closely is definitely the development of bones, especially bone development. It is not difficult to observe the tall people around them to find that many tall people are mainly high on the legs, especially the length of the calves. It can be judged from the length and thickness of the child's calf to judge the child's height development trend, if compared with the same age, the calf belly is thick or can not see the foot neck of the child, then there is a great possibility of not growing; on the contrary, if the child's calf is slender, then there is a great potential to grow tall.
What other factors are related to height?
1. Generation-skipping inheritance
In addition to the parents' genes, the genes of the children will also be affected by the genes of the generations.
2. Sleep
The human body will secrete growth hormone in sleep, adequate sleep is of great benefit to the body's growth, 11-12 o'clock at night is the golden period of sleep.
3. Exercise
Exercise promotes the absorption of nutrients, and exercise helps to stretch skeletal muscles, so that your child's muscles are stretched.
Is your child's height up to standard? 2021 Children's Height Standard Sheet
In 2021, the Ministry of Health formulated the "Reference Standards for the Growth and Development of Children Under 7 Years of Age in China" has been released, and if you want to know whether your child's height is up to standard, hurry up and compare it.
Standard value for height (length) for boys under 7 years of age (cm
Standard height (length) for girls under 7 years of age (cm
Note: The length is before 3 years old, and the height is after 3 years old and after 3 years old

First find your child's age group and then look horizontally at what range your child's height is. The SD after Age/Month Of Age is standard deviation and is normal as long as the child is between -2SD and +2SD in height. If the height is less than -2SD, it indicates that the child is short, and if the height is greater than +2SD, the child is taller than most of his peers.
