Does the mother's height have a big impact on her child?

Height is something that people attach great importance to, because height is the basis for people to carry out various activities in life. The higher the height, the greater the advantages. In particular, people with taller height are more confident and better able to handle various problems. Height is not innate, but determined by many factors. For example, does the mother's height have a big impact on the child? Let's take a look at the explanation below.

1. Children's height is indeed related to their parents' height, but this genetic factor is affected by both parents, and the mother's genetic contribution rate is not much higher. Therefore, it is too absolute to say that if the mother is not tall, her children's height will definitely not be tall. Generally speaking, genetic factors account for 70% to 80% of the factors that affect children's height. In other words, 70%-80% of how tall a child will grow in the future is determined by his parents.

2. Studies have shown that the heritability of height for males and females is 0.89 and 0.87 respectively, and there is no statistically significant difference in the heritability of height, sitting height and body mass index between males and females. It is obvious that the genetic influence of both parents on the child's height is equal.

1. Genetic factors

Genetic factors are one of the factors that determine the baby's future height. The baby's future height can generally be predicted from the height of the father and mother. The formula is as follows: Boy's future height (cm) = (father's height + mother's height) × 1.078 ÷ 2, Girl's future height (cm) = (father's height × 0.923 + mother's height) ÷ 2

2. Nutritional factors

In the normal growth and development process, babies need a comprehensive range of healthy and nutritious foods to meet their growth needs. Therefore, parents should pay attention to the nutritional food combination of their babies. Some parents should also help their babies to

Babies should drink less carbonated drinks to avoid affecting their normal nutritional intake.

If the baby is sick, the baby's growth and development will be affected during the illness. For example, if the baby has a cold or gastrointestinal disorder, the baby's eating, digestion and growth process will be affected. Therefore, for some diseases of the baby, we must pay more attention, observe more, detect early, and treat early.
