height at maturity in inches for a boy =
= (0.545 * (child's height in inches at 2 years of age)) + (0.544 * (parental height in inches)) + 14.85
height at maturity in inches for a girl =
= (0.545 * (child's height in inches at 2 years of age)) + (0.544 * (parental height in inches)) + 10.09
where:
• The "parental height" is not specified as that of the mother, father, or average of the two.
