Khamis-Roche Formula Coefficients

The Khamis-Roche Method is a non-invasive formula for predicting a child's adult height based on parental heights, current height, and weight. It uses specific coefficients for boys and girls aged 7 to 14, derived from the Fels Longitudinal Study. The method provides a structured approach to estimate adult stature without needing skeletal age.

Khamis-Roche Method for Predicting Adult Height

The Khamis-Roche Method is a non-invasive approach to estimate a child's predicted adult height
using parental heights, current height, and weight. The formula was developed based on data from
the Fels Longitudinal Study.

Formula:
Predicted Adult Height = a + (b × Father's Height) + (c × Mother's Height) + (d × Current Height) + (e
× Weight)

Where:
- 'a' is a constant coefficient based on age and sex.
- 'b', 'c', 'd', and 'e' are coefficients for each variable.
- Heights are measured in cm and weight in kg.

Coefficients for Boys (Ages 7 to 14)

e (Weight)
7 76.3 0.37 0.36 0.5 0.07
