And how much did you notice the increase? I mean, a lot of members here increase 4-6 and say "wow the difference is huge!". Do you feel the same after having grown 4cm?

I think that, for 4cm, it depends more on their previous height and the average height of men & women where they live.

A 4cm increase would be a huge difference for me where I live, while if I was 4cms shorter and got to my height, it'd only be an okay difference/increase.

Oddly enough I have "tallish" grandmothers, both of which are taller than my grandfathers. I'm surprised my parents ended up so short, especially my dad. With the heights of my grandmothers, it's pretty obvious that I have tall uncles and cousins. Most hover around 6ft, not a single one under 5'9.

Your dad's case is the weirdest I've ever seen.

I've literally never seen someone with a 5'7 dad and a mother who's at least 5'7 end up shorter than 5'9.

I hate to present an anecdotal story like this, but:

My dad's parent's got divorced when he was 12 and he ran away at 14. He was on his own for months at a time just staying with friends and sketchy people throughout the country for a few years until he came back home to serve in the military. When he was living in NY he told me he would sometimes go all day just eating a chocolate bar and then sleeping for 3-4 hours on his friend's mom's couch.

All his siblings are taller than him, uncle is 6'1, I have another aunt who is 5'8, another who is 5'7, etc...

I doubt that lifestyle could stunt his height THAT much though.

Too bad our science on stunted height in developed countries is so shxt.

I find 6' totally believable for someone who had a 5'9 mother and a 5'7 father. Like we mentioned before, people seem to get more height from their mother. So above-average mother + short-average father = tall children easily a possibility. To get someone shorter than both parents, though, it feels like there was something else involved there. Maybe you have some really short Tongan ancestors you never have heard of, and their recessive genes took effect in your father. Or some genetic disease he couldn't get tested in his times. I really have no idea.

Nutrition can probably severely stunt growth, tbh. It'd nice if we could get some nutritionists and endocrinologists to post here.

I've been to developing countries in South America with large populations whose ancestors were African slaves, a lot of the black men there were really short. However, in the US, blacks are the same size as white males. So what gives? The Atlantic slave trade mostly all got their slaves from the same sources in West Africa.

Wasn't trying to hate on you or anything. Sorry if it came across as rude. But look at this thread: mostly white people with taller parents who ended shorter. Definitely lucky, imo.

Does your father have a condition on his back?

I don't understand how are people's parents losing so many centimeters over their lifetimes in this thread. My father lost 1.5cm at most, if that.

lucindaris · « **Reply #111 on:** April 22, 2018, 12:09:56 AM »

I think its about mentality even known from my taller friends some of them got 185 some 180 and they are equal. After if it will be visible for someone you can blame that on posture

My father had a sedentary lifestyle, is an alcoholic, chain smoker, drug user, and obese. It's natural for someone to shrink a few centimeters over several decades, but I think these are also factors.

It's also fully possible that he was only like 1,68 m in his younger days and they just put 1,70 on his driver's license for whatever reason.

Not my family, obviously, but I felt it'd be interesting to post the stats here.

From Margo Dydek's (born in the 70s, in Poland) family:

Father: 201cm, 6'7 - Former Basketball player.
Mother: 191cm, 6'3 - Former Volleyball player.

Margo: 218cm, 7'2

Older sister: 201cm, 6'7
Youngest sister: 198cm, 6'6

This is a family of obviously exceptional genetics for height, but the two other sisters were no taller than their father, even despite the mother's height being more standard deviations above the norm than her father's.

Personally i think that with the height of my mother i should be taller. I am 21 years old now, but at the 12 years i used to take drugs. Then that could affect my growth, but i always was little in my classroom

Hi Guys,

Cool thread.

My Height: 5'1.25"
My New Height Post CLL: 5'4.25"

Father: 6'0"
Mother: 4'11"

I had a bone age when I was 10 years old by one of the best growth doctor's offices around. Based on best practice estimates, my height was going to be 5'7 - 5'10" range.

At age 11, I had a surge of puberty that was much too fast and strong and it hit me with a force. It was precocious and as a result, my bones aged too quickly (fused) and my height growth stopped at 5'1" (Precocious Puberty). I was done growing by age 12. I was actually 4'6 at age 11 and that summer I grew 6.5 inches. It was insane. Everyone thought the height issue was over. Little did they know that the onset of extreme puberty was why I grew so rapidly. I actually was forfeiting my growth. It was funny because I was so well developed (early developed) that I was throwing my peer group and older kids all over the place in wrestling and on the football field (Pop Warner, etc). I was so much stronger and muscular (Natural muscles, not weight lifting) than my peers that I actually had scouts coming out to vet me. Well, the rest is history as I mentioned. Such is life, guys. We go forward and we have to own whatever we got and do something with it.

I implore the parents on this community to monitor their children's height closely and their puberty onset. If it's still early enough; hormonal imbalances and early onsets of puberty can be safely controlled with modern medical technology and your child can salvage a great height... at least closer to their true height.

All the best CLL Family.

Talk soon,

-IFS
