A simple calculation using a child’s date of birth and body measurements can predict adult height, say researchers. Many children and their parents are interested to know how tall they will be as adults. A hurdle has been accounting for an individual’s biological maturity at the time of measurement - some children are early while others are late “bloomers”. A Belgian and Canadian team told the Journal of Pediatrics how they overcame this problem with a maths equation. http://athena.usask.ca/growthutility/
