Parent height prediction method

The parent height prediction method is a European scientist who creates a formula for predicting height based on the relationship between the height of the parents and the height of the child: son height (cm) = father height + mother height × 1.08 ÷ 2; daughter height (cm) = father height ×0.923+ mother's height ÷2. This formula basically conforms to the genetic rule of “high height and high height”, “short with dwarf short” and “high plus short height”. This formula is derived from the genetic principles and the growth rate of European height. In order to make this prediction formula more suitable for China's national conditions, China's scientific workers "foreign use for the Chinese", according to the relationship between the Han children in the central region of China and the height of their parents, the coefficient in the formula was changed to male 1.11 ~ 1.12, female 0.948 ~ Between 0.980, in this way, the calculated results are more in line with the actual situation in China. Basic Information Specialist classification: growth and development check classification: physical examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Tips: When checking, you need to actively cooperate with the doctor's work. Normal value The predicted results are consistent with the real results. Clinical significance Abnormal results: The predicted results are inconsistent with the real results. People who need to be examined: children. Precautions Taboo before inspection: None. Requirements for inspection: Actively cooperate with the doctor's work. Inspection process First measure the height of the parents, and then calculate the height by the formula. Not suitable for the crowd Old man. Adverse reactions and risks Generally no adverse reactions.
