How much taller can you be than your dad?

If you are a man with average height, you can expect your son to be a few inches (centimeters) taller than you. This is because the regression line and the SD line both coincide at the average heights. For instance, a father with an average height of 67.7 inches (172cm) will have a 68.7-inch-tall (175cm-tall) son.

Does the father or mother determine height?

As a general rule of thumb, your height can be predicted based on how tall your parents are. If they are tall or short, then your own height is said to end up somewhere based on the average heights between your two parents. Genes aren’t the sole predictor of a person’s height.

Will I be my dad’s height?

Here is a good way to estimate this based on mom and dad’s adult height. For Boys: Add 5 inches to mom’s height and average this with dad’s. Ex: if mom is 5’4” you would add 5 inches to make 5’9” and then average with dad’s height of 5’11” and your little boy’s predicted genetic height is 5’10”

Can you outgrow your dad?

Nope. You get your height genes from both sides of your family – and you can end up taller or shorter than either or both of your parents. You never know if some of your ancestors might have contributed genes.

Is it possible to be 6 feet tall if your parents are 5’10?

My uncle’s parents,/my grandparents are 5′2 and 5′10 (my grandpa was 5′11 formerly, but lost an inch with age), and he’s 6ft tall. Funnily enough though, his brother, my dad is (only) 5′8. So really, you can be any height, including 6ft+, no matter what heights your parents are. It depends on their height, but it is very unlikely.

Are You likely to be the same height as your father?

If you are male, you are likely to be the same height as your father as long as your mother is the equivalent female height.

Does your child’s height depend on your parent’s height?

But if your kid is younger, you’re just curious, or maybe you are pregnant, we have a child height predictor that calculates the child’s height basing on parents height. It’s called the Mid-Parental Height Formula.

Why is my mother taller than my father?

If your father is short, then your mother likely has to be really tall (much taller than the father) in order to make up for that difference. Usually the tall one determines the child’s height and most men tend to be taller than their wives, and women in general.
