PY - 2007 DA - 2007/04/02 TI - Accuracy of self-reported height measurements in parents and its effect on mid-parental target height calculation JO - BMC Endocrine Disorders SP - 2 VL - 7 IS - 1 AB - Clinical determination of mid-parental height is an important part of the assessment of a child's growth, however our clinical impression has been that parents cannot be relied upon to accurately report their own heights. Therefore, we conducted this study to assess the accuracy of parental height self-reporting and its effect on calculated mid-parental target height for children presenting to a pediatric endocrinology office.
