[Parent-child correlations for stature]. 1982

J P Deschamps, and Y Spyckerelle, and M Munier, and J C Petit, and M Pierson, and R Senault

A study on the relationship between a child's expected height and his parents' attained adult height was made from data obtained from 15,381 healthy children, age 4 to 18 years, and of French descent. The correlation between child's and parents' height was significant and important. Correlation coefficients increase with the ages of children. The theoretical height which a child might expect to attain in adulthood, based on his parents' heights, could be calculated by diagrams or program cards used in conjunction with a manual calculator. This information might be of importance for pediatric or medical care in school.
