Question

I am 16 years old and my height is 5'6 .What is my predicted height ?​

Answer 1

answer : your pridected adult height is 5ft 7.5 inches according to the khamis-roche method.

ExplanationYour predicted adult height is 5ft 7.5 inches according to the khamis-roche method. I'm also 16 but I'm 5ft 9, my predicted adult height is 5ft 10.5. After 16 you grow on average about 1.5 inches taller, that's why it's 1.5 for both of us ,but If you can tell me how tall your parents are I could give you a more accurate prediction since the prediction right now is based on your age and current height, also because after 16 your growth starts to slow down since your growth plates are almost or already fully matured and therefore growth in height stops. Meaning that 5ft 6 could be your adult height if your growth plates are fully matured. If you have a good amount of facial hair the odds are your done growing since secondairy hair growth is at about stage 4.5 - 5 and growth in height stops around there. You could be taller depending in which stage of puberty your in. A person could be a late bloomer and start puberty at 16 meaning that he won't stop growing till his mid twentys because his growth plates haven't matured yet. If you’re really concerned about your final height, best bet is to get your growth plates x-rayed. The x-ray will show how much cartalige growth is left. In the end your height is determined by 80% genes and 20% environmental factors.
