In view of an average height difference between adult men and women of 13 cm, TH for boys is usually given by MPH + 6.5cm, TH for girls by MPH - 6.5cm. Alternatively, TH can be expressed in standard deviation scores (SDS), with TH_SDS = (mother’s height_SDS + father’s height_SDS) / 2.
The median (50th percentile) growth curves for males and females 0−20 years in the United States. The study of height is known as auxology. [11]Growth has long been recognized as a measure of the health of individuals, hence part of the reasoning for the use of growth charts.

By doing this, doctors can track a child's growth over time and monitor how a child is growing in relation to other children.
The study says that among children alone (includes ages as low as 2), the average height has increased 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) from 1992 to 2002. This means the adult height from 2002 should be much different in 2008 due to the taller younger generation entering into the adult cohort, while the older (shorter) adult generation is dying off.
Mean height of adult women by year of birth. Data for the latest cohort (the year 1996) is therefore the mean height of women aged 18 in 2014. Date: 2020 (chart creation)
