Child Height Prediction Calculator
Estimate potential adult height using current age, height, weight and parental heights. Compare the Khamis-Roche estimate with the mid-parental target.
Child Height Predictor
For children approximately 4β17.5 years old. Results are estimates, not medical diagnoses.

How Does the Height Prediction Calculator Work?
The 5iTech calculator provides two complementary estimates. The Khamis-Roche method uses age, sex, current height, current weight and mid-parental height. The parents-only method estimates a target adult height from the heights of both parents.
π― Khamis-Roche Method
The published method predicts adult stature without skeletal age using age- and sex-specific regression coefficients for current height, current weight and mid-parental height.
π¨βπ©βπ§ Mid-Parental Height
A simple target-height estimate based on both parents’ heights.

How Tall Will My Child Be?
No calculator can guarantee an exact final adult height. Genetics, growth pattern, health, nutrition, hormones and puberty timing can all affect the result.
Height Prediction From Parents
Parents’ heights are an important indicator of genetic height potential. The mid-parental method provides a central target rather than a guaranteed final height.
How Accurate Is the Khamis-Roche Method?
The original Khamis-Roche study was developed from healthy white American children in the Fels Longitudinal Study and the authors explicitly note that applicability is limited to that population and to children without pathological conditions affecting growth. The published method is therefore best presented as a statistical estimate, not a universal clinical prediction. ξciteξturn199625search0ξ
Factors That Can Affect Adult Height
- Genetic inheritance
- Nutrition and general health
- Puberty timing
- Hormonal and endocrine function
- Chronic medical conditions
