Editorial Policy

Every page on Height Calculators is written to be accurate, easy to read and useful to parents and teens. Here's how we make sure of that.

How We Research

• We base every calculator on a published method, such as the Khamis-Roche method (Pediatrics, 1994) or the mid-parental height formula.
• We use primary sources for numbers: CDC and WHO growth charts, medical guidelines such as NICE, and official documents such as Army directives.
• We list our references at the bottom of each page.

How We Write

• Plain English, short sentences, no jargon without an explanation.
• Every page shows the limits of the method, not just the result.
• Every health page tells readers when to see a doctor.

How We Review and Update

• We re-check facts at least once a year, and right away when a guideline or standard changes.
• When a fact or standard changes, we fix the page right away.
