Is the age at which you stop growing genetic?

[GandyIsNormie]

I am 90% that my height is inherited from my grandfather (he is 1.92, I am 1.86-1.88) and according to him I stop growing at 20

In his citizenship card (which was done at 18) it appears 1.87 and in a medical record of him that was made at 40 it appears 1.92

Well, we all stop growing at the end of puberty. Pubertal timing is genetic, so for example, I read articles about precocious puberty patients that had family members with the same issue and many late bloomers of this forum had late bloomer parents

If I was 5'9 I would never have known this forum

I’m certain your pubertal timing and height growth ages (but not absolute height) is more determined by maternal

Puberty at age 14 could be considered late?

80% is genetic and 20% is environment and nutrition

Imagine being 6’3 and pretty boy like Chico mogging 99.999% of the population

Yes, that's like 2 years later than avg

 

[Xangsane]

Mostly genetic

most men inherit their height from their mother or maternal grandfather (in my case, the latter)

Elliot had a height of 1.68 with a father of 1.85 ... But with a mother of 1.55

I didn't inherit either of these. Would've been 5'10". Obviously I'm not most men though

I don't think so. Most inherit their height from their father and mother, both.

There is a way to calculate the height of the fully developed child with the height of the father and mother.

M(1.55)+F(1.85) = 340÷2 = 170

Most men obtain a superior height of 6.5+cm from this base height, although the opposite may be the case where 6.5- 6.5- 6.5- 6.5+cm should be subtracted from this base height.

176.5 - 163.5

 

[GandyIsNormie]

why

I once read that in theory you should be 5-7 inches taller than your mother and then you will know "your maximum genetic potential

Although of course, taking into account if your mother ate well because maybe she did not eat well and her genetics dictate that you can measure 1.90

How tall is your father and mother?

 

[Zylk]

How tall is your father and mother?

My dad is 6'1 and my mom idk, probably 5'7

 

[GandyIsNormie]

My dad is 6'1 and my mom idk, probably 5'7

1.85 + 1.70 = 3.55 ÷ 2 = 1.77

1.77 +-6.5 = 171 - 1.83

Y tu mides 1.87 wacho

Fuck my genetics. I am pretty sure I am not growing atm.

Genetics aren't that simple bro, but I will say that males usually are 5 inches taller than their mother I guess. This is usually only the case in which the parents are of the same height percentiles though. So no short mom tall dad, but yes short mom short dad or tall mom tall dad. Men in countries are typically 5 inches above the female average

A way to circumvent the limitation of that method would be adding the height percentiles of both of your parents then dividing that by 2. That is a more accurate method at guessing the most likely height a child could end up

I'm only 2.5 inches taller than my mom but tbf my growth curve projected me to be 6.5 inches taller than her

Yes, I think it is the case of the younger brother.

Spoiler:

My brother is a similar height of that but he is the oldest of my siblings and I am the youngest. I know many younger siblings who are usually the tallest, although this is not always the case.

It may also be the case that your phenotype has undergone a genetic change and has the characteristics of your grandparents.

You were supposed to measure 1.74-1.80 using the method of adding heights of both parents
