On whom does a boy's height depend more? To father or mother

Many parents are curious whether their child will be tall or short. Experts emphasize that a boy's height largely depends on genetic factors, but the environment and lifestyle also play a significant role.
Usually, the father's height has a greater influence on the formation of the child's height, but the mother's height is also taken into account. The maternal lineage (grandmothers, uncles) has an indirect effect, and this gives only an approximate result. Therefore, it's impossible to predict exactly who his height will resemble most.
Also, healthy nutrition, sports, adequate sleep, and a healthy lifestyle contribute to the maximum development of the child's height. Experts say that the formula "father's height + mother's height) / 2 ± 6.5 cm" can be used for approximate calculations, but this is separate for each child.
A boy's height depends mainly on the genes of the parents, while the influence of maternal lineage is less pronounced and indirect. The most important thing is to ensure a healthy lifestyle for the child so that he can fully realize his genetic potential.
