How to Predict Height Growth

The future height of a child is a fun subject of debate for many a parent. This has given rise to a number of formulas that allow the parent to calculate a child's potential adult height without the need for x-rays. One method that has gained popularity in recent years is Khamis-Roche. This method uses the heights of the child's parents, as well as the child's current height, weight and age to calculate a reasonably accurate projection of adult height.
