How tall should women be if men are at least 6”2?

I'm 5'2" and my son is now 6'1". As a child he was always around 70th percentile, taller than average in his class but never the tallest. He just shot up in high school and continued a little growth in college.

Were the predictions off of growth chart or a calculator? Just curious.
That was from an endocrinologist based on measurements, family history, bone scan, etc. with no issues, just a late bloomer and short family history.
Well, he ended up at a good height considering family history. When you say late bloomer, what age did he start puberty?

He still seems on the small side though compared to his peers, but def not done growing. He's about 5'4" now; DH is 5'7" and I'm 6'0"--but who knows?
My DS was barely over 5' at 14 (like 5'1"). He's now 19 and a bit over 5'11", and maybe still growing. Late bloomer, like both of his parents. DH is 6'2", I'm barely 5'. I don't think DS will hit 6'2", but maybe 6'. I think a lot depends on when the kid hits puberty.

My dd was supposed to just hit 5 feet and she didn't quite make it. She is just taller than Simone Biles. Oh well!

Growth hormones?
Growth hormones can help increase a sons odds.
6 ft son of parents 5'1 & 5'6
You used growth hormones? Was it medically necessary?

Track how? My son always has been relatively shorter than his peers, but moved from the 3rd percentile in preschool and K to around the 37th percentile by the time he was 16. I consider that better than expected.
