- I measured my Mother and Father's height on the stadiometer.
How tall were they in their Prime and what height are they now.
Mother age 77, Father age 86. How many inches have they shrunk?
Many thanks to my parents for agreeing to take part in this CelebHeights video and having their measurement recorded.
Height Measurement Results and Height Loss:
Mother in Prime 5ft 5. Height in July 2022, age 77 - 5ft 3
Father in prime 5ft 9.75. Height in July 2022, age 86 - within 5ft 6.75 - 5ft 7 range.
My Father has lost more height in the last few years with more health issues and his kyphosis (spinal/neck curvature) becoming even more pronounced. When 'Standing tall' even the highpoint of his head (crown) couldn't quite fit under my stadiometer properly.

Brilliant measurement! Glad to see your parents in this video! God bless them. May they live long.
👍 I hope they both live to 90s
@@RobPaul hopefully they live to their 100s , all the best to them
@@RobPaul your lucky to have both your parents still alive. I was always into height my father died at 48 he was 6 foot 1 at he's prime before he died I measured him he was just under 6 foot 1
@@RobPaulwhen I use the measuring tape barefoot the top of my head touches 73 inches . which means iam six foot barefoot yet according to doctors office iam 179 barefoot? . what gives
God bless your parents Rob ! Long live to them !
So cool to have your parents in the video Rob. Height therefore is really not a clear cut measurement since it varies throughout our lifetime. Thanx for the videos 👌👌👌
Day by day I'm impressed by Rob, you're just making lovely videos .all the best rob
I was measured by my doctor back in my 20's at 5'8 1/2". I'm 55 now, never measured myself, but I should. I suspect I haven't lost any height, but stay tuned!
Did you shrink?
Update plz
Did u check
You will have lost height. Men lose 1/4" to 1/3" every decade between 30 and 70 and almost 1" between 70 and 80. You are probably under 5'8" today.
@@Danimal77 you mean, it's possible that Rob Paul may even be taller than me now????? 😫
God Bless you Big Rob
God bless your parents.
Hello Rob, Can you tell me the height or update on celebheights of Ryusuke Yamada? He mentioned his height on Wikipedia only 164cm.
Parents are greatest gift from God to us❤️
Being any height at 86 years old is commendable. However, I remember the height challenge you had, and your father measured a whisker under 5'9 only back in 2011?
What do you think of the hgh cocktail? That contains cabagge, Green beans and tomato. I am talking about height gains.
You really look like your dad, Rob!!!
a lot of fathers and sons look alike dont they
God bless them!
Awesome 👍
Rob at what time of the day do fotballers get measured? Haland recently measured 195cm right? Could it be that they just measured him earlier of the day?
I would say at least a few hours after wakening…most probably in 9 to 12 timeframe
I have a cousin who is one year younger than you (age 45) whose parents are 85 and 76 (77 this year). He’s 5’6” and his parents are 5’4” and 4’11.5”.
Hey Rob, what do you think your father's height would be right now if he didn't have this unfortunate curvature? He looks like he could be over 5' 7" without the curvature.
Most of the loss is in the big curvature and maybe a little in knees/hips. Without it would still be 5ft 9
Great video! My late, maternal grandmother was 5'8'' in her youth and her final height was barely 5'5''. My late, paternal grandfather was nearly 6'2'' but he had a motorcycle wreck in December of 1972. After he recovered, he was under 6'. His final height, before he passed in 2005, was about 5'9.''
My Father's lack of movement over the last 2-3 years I think contributed to his worsening kyphosis (curvature).
@@RobPaul I believe it. My granny had spinal stenosis and had a curve in her spine, also.
Rob. My physio told me I have hyperlordosis and I've been doing a bunch of exercises to correct it. I've heard that you can gain height once fixed. My hyperlordosis is pretty bad (had it since I was a kid). My brother measured me recently and I've been getting 185.5 cm in the evening. That's taller than before I started doing the exercises weeks ago (under 185cm). However when I measure myself I get more or less 185cm. We do it the exact same method. The end of the book (the binder thing) and place it horizontally against the wall (the bottom of the book that is) until it reaches my head. Which measurement do you think is more accurate? I think 185cm at least is a fair estimate regardless considering I was measured 184.2 at over 16 years of age with a stadiometer.
Yeah a solid 185 claim is more than reasonable. Say 6ft 1 in feet and inches.
@@RobPaul thanks for the reply! I have just another question. Is there a slight margin of error when measuring yourself (with measuring tape)
compared to getting measured by another person or with a stadiometer?
I have hyperlodosis aswell we’re you able to cure the problem if so how?abd what’s your height now?
Hey Rob can u do a video on Barron Trump’s height? He claims to be 200cm, but i think he’s just a strong 195cm , what’s your word on this, i’d like to hear an expert’s opinion.
He rarely gets photographed and when he does with his parents he definitely looks around 200 cm. He towers over his 6’0 daddy that apparently wears lifts. 200 cm isn’t far off and he might’ve still grown a bit
My mom is 62 years old, she was 158 cm in her 20's and now she is 156 cm during the day, I would add she broke her ankle and she has Parkinson's Disease. My father said he is 175 cm since he turned 14 which is debatable because he is 176 as 62, so I think he thought he stopped growing after 14 but he definitely grew a few cm.
My Grand father was 5 feet 11 1/2 now he is of my height 5 feet 9 1/2 he is 75
Hey Rob, my mom was 5'2 3/4" when she was young and now at 76 she's 5'0.5". My stepfather was 6'1 3/4" in his prime and now at 70 he is 5'11.5". This just proves that height loss is real. The average man loses 1/4" to 1/3" every decade between 30 and 70, which comes out to a little over 1" by 70 and then they lose another 1" between 70 and 80, where as women lose 1/2" every decade between 30 and 70, which comes out to 2" height loss by 70 and they lose another 1.25" between 70 and 80 and after 80, height loss increases even more.
I noticed for some celebs the 65 to 70 range is when many who may not have lost much, then begin to lose a more noticeable amount towards early 70s
Actually taller people looses more height than shorter ones
Because my mom was 4'11.5 in her 20's and now she is 55 and 4'11 (lost just 0.5 inch)
I'm 15, turning 16 in a few months. I honestly hope I'm not short forever because I am 5'4 rn. My mom is 5'6 and my dad is 5'10(he claims he was 6'0 before but shrunk to 5'10) he is for sure 5'10 now. I am still shorter than both parents rn so idkkk.
Rob resemble his mother more than father (just an observation)
Rob, my father is 6’2.5 and my mother is 5’5 and I have a morning height of just under 5’9.5 at 23 years old (weirdly grew a fraction of an inch since last year). Any idea why I didn’t end up closer to my father? I drank milk all throughout childhood and into my teenage years (still do but developed an intolerance in my late teens), averaged 7.5-8 hrs of sleep throughout puberty and played sports throughout my entire life. I am quite upset about it and have been for years. Any idea why?
Probably unfortunately took more of ur mother’s genes or side rather than ur fathers side. I mean a 6’2.5 and a 5’5 offspring can range from 5’9 to 6’3.. best case scenario is if u took ur dads side then u could be at or taller than ur dad. Many people can grow way taller than their parents and some can grow much shorter.. it’s all about genetics.
Add them up to celeb heights
Hi, Rob. At what age height decrease began on average?My dad is 47 years old, and he said that he was 167 cm, when he was in the army. I measured him and in fact he was 164 cm. can a person shrink 3 cm before the age of 50s ?
how tall are you?
if you lift heavy
@@cloroxbleach3936 what do you mean by lifting heavy? In the gym or at work? Because I don't really think lifting in the gym is gonna effect it alot. Arnold Schwarzenegger isnt really a good example. Take Jay Cutler, he hasnt lost anything and lifted heavy.
@@ttmusicchannel013
i forgot to add "with bad form"
@@ttmusicchannel013 Lifting heavy can indeed stunt growth on children who just hit puberty or halfway through puberty. My grandfather stunted his growth because he dropped out of school at 16 and started working on a construction site to provide for his 8 siblings and ill parents. He didn't even had his growth spurt. Lifting heavy can take a toll on a person's spine after their 40's. My father lost 2cm in his 40's. So it is possible.
hi rob, could u do another height measurement of big iona in heels
Heels add different heights, most will add 2 ½ to 3 inches
Rob, Can you please do on how much height do the Air Max 97 sneakers add?
It’s one video I hope to do by end of this year 👍
@@RobPaul Also, please do a height on much do the Air Max Invigor sneakers add. Because those are very thick sneakers.
My father height's : 179cm

I'm 182,5-183cm and my bro is solid 183-183,5cm...
Rob I have just turned 18 and I am 5’8 and 7/8ths, do you think I will potentially reach 5’9.5 - 5’10 by the time I’ve fully developed?
it's likely trust me , you still have time . i was 5'9.75" at 18 5'10" and i'm gonna turn 20 and i'm almost 5'11
@@endritbajrami8795 that’s good to hear. I mainly want to just finish off at 5’9 so I can honestly admit to being 5’9. When people ask my height i say I’m 5’9 which I think is fair enough. I want to hear the height guru himself tell me it’s possible lol.
@GregLurik Official Proof?
@Barry
A man can grow up to early 20s.
It’s possible but most men will have finished growing by late teens
Hi Rob, I'm 18 years 7 months old and my height is just 172cm dad is 5'8 and mother is 5'2, I measured my height 43 days ago it was 171, is there any chance for me to grow at least 4-5 cm?
Depends on whether your spurt started early or late cause a later spurt means you could still grow those 4-5cms but if it started early and since your parents arent tall, look im sorry your height will most likely be no more than 5'8. But you never know. Lets hope for the best
@@user-fo2ik1vt4b my puberty started at 14/15 lm 21 any chance l could grow 2-3cms at 22 so that lm 5’10 a height ld be content with barely 5’9 as of now
How tall are your siblings ?
Tough to know that as someone who’s 6’1, I’ll probably dip back below the 6 foot mark as I age
Yup, my step father was 6'1 3/4" and now at 70 is down to 5'11.5"
It's just height lol. And nature takes its course
I mean why the heck do you care if you are 80 and under 6 foot lol.
@@Danimal77 So true, my grandpa is 5 foot 9 to 5 foot 10 i would assume, he said hes 69 inches which is prob true as thats what the doctor measured him at. He told me he was 6 foot 1 at his peak and hes 86 or 87. Before leaving back home, i was a inch shorter than him (summer of 2022 group photos) and i was 5 foot 8 and a half when I returned home. He has long legs compared to his body so I believe he was at least 6 foot when he was in navy.
Also I grew since summer of 2022, I am 181cm almost in morning and in evening I am 179-179.5cm and in noon got 179.5cm. I am tempted to say 5 foot 11 but I tell people I am 5 foot 10 ish bc people assume im slightly shorter than I am. I have bad posture thoI have longish legs for my height and im a little under 135 pounds.
My dad was exactly 6 ft when he was young. Now at 70 he is 5'10".
Rob how much height does Nike Air Max IVO add??
Looks about 3 cm
Measured my Dad (61) last week. In his prime he was 176cm now 172cm..
My mother (60) was 163cm and is now 160cm. I am 177cm so wish me luck i dont want to lose height..
Usually women shrink more than men but seems like both you and robs father actually shrink more
You gotta start working out and doing some cardio, this will help with keeping your bones strong and prevent them from being consumed for energy, this happens because your body thinks there is no use for bones anymore because they aren't being used
so you start to become weaker,
And eventually shorter.
Meanwhile me thinking how to avoid death
Nice video sir God bless you and your family
Some people are lucky to have pàrent who let them measure them 🤣
You can measure without showing faces, like I did.
@@RobPaul say sir do ithink
Predicting my height by taking my parents height who are ithink my father is 47,48 years and my mom who is 53 years old is a good ideas
Do you think your father would manage to measure a solid 5'7 range if he could stand taller? The curvature in his spine sounds concerning. I thought an ex-military man would have greater posture control.
Unfortunately he can’t…that’s the most he can manage to stand tall. The kyphosis has worsened the last couple of years because just a few years ago he was closer to 5ft 8.
@@RobPaul I’m sorry to hear that Rob. Do you think he could shrink further than he already has?
I hate to say 2or 3 inches seems a lot to lose especially if your well under 6 foot.
Man, my dad is 5'11 and my mom is 5'5 yet I ended up at 5'5/5'5.5 on a good day.
Can i ask you Rob, i saw that you said you're father was around 178 cm, was he really 177 cm in his prime or 5'9.75? He said 5'9.5 now, but has said 5'9.75 before. All the best to you're parents.
He has said for years 5ft 9.75 in army, but came out with 9.5 here…he was a bit taller than 9.5 in his prime.
Didn't you measure him in his prime?
@@hehehheheh9484 he was probably a child when his father was in his prime
Yes, you are right. When his father was 60, Rob was around 20 i guess.
@@hehehheheh9484 Rob had no idea back then, would of been busy growing himself
Do you think your dad could be 5'8+ if he didn't have that curvature?
The curvature got worse in last 2 years…but it’s kyphosis and pretty much permanently curved.
@@RobPaul Yeah, it's sad, my mother also has it... I wonder how much height did he actually lose just because of disc/vertebrae shrinkage. I think it might not be that much actually, looks like it's mostly because of the curvature, but I may be wrong.
Do all people shrink with age,is it possible not to shrink with age for someone?
Some people manage to get to 70 with small losses...lifestyle, diet and exercise (stretching too) could help reduce shrinkage.
@@RobPaul why I shrink after taking bath?
I am 6ft ⅞ in while my dad was 5ft 7 ½ at his peak. Now that he's in his late 50's, he could be half an inch less as of today.
My dad was 5'6 in his 20's now in his 60's he is 5'4
you can say 6 foot 1, no one should use 7/8ths
Just say 6’1, also that’s similar to mine. I’m 6’1 and dads currently 5’8 at 40 something
I’m bang on 170cm in the afternoon, can I claim 5’7?
Afternoon is the best time so go for it
Is it unusual to grow 15 cm after 18? I was 163 cm at 18 years old, now 178 cm at almost 19. Many people have late growth sprouts I know that but I haven't grown from age 15 to 18 until this year. How is this possible?
that is pretty awesome my g. did you do stretching?
@@numetalguitarist2377 I workout here and there but not consistently like everyday of the week.
I think its probably delayed puberty
I hate u
Well, it is not the norm, but it happened in your case. I grew almost an inch after 19 and I wasn't even that late of a bloomer.
After some years I don't think you will shrunk a lot as you take care of your height by regular stretches. What about your wife she has shrunk a little bit? Is she still same?
Jenny has lost just about an inch by her 50s
@@RobPaul does gender effect the amount of height we lose after getting old? Do girls shrunk more than boys after getting old?
@@sarasbhitalwal5525 Girls might shrink a bit less than boys if they’re the same height since girls naturally have shorter torsos than most men. Shorter torsos can lead to lesser shrinkage

@@tarifaurangzeb1 Andre the giant was a lagit 7'4"¾-7'5"¾ because In 1989 he was arrested and they took his height and weight
hey rob,im 184.5cm im the morning
at night im 182.2
is it fair to claim 6 f
Claim 6’0
183-183.5 seems like a reasonable range to claim.
Take your morning height and say that you are 184.5 in the morning
All day long. Even your lowest height rounds up to it and you easily clear it earlier in the day
Wow that a significantly big drop, ..but your a legit 6 footer no doubt...nice one bro 👍😎🍻
Hello rob do you think that there is a method to stop growing ? (I dont want lol only a question)
Getting no sleep, eating unhealthy, pretty much the opposite of doing things that help u grow
My father is 62 and 187cm. I wonder how tall he was in his prime. My guess is 6 foot 3
Probably close to 189, since by mid 60s u typically see a 1.5cm shrinkage on most people. On extreme cases like back problems and having a strenuous longtime job it might be up to 3cm. But yea its pretty rare to be in ur late 50s or after and not see any shrinkage..
He probably should be 5'7 ½ to weak 5'8
Big Rob I thaught I was 6’0 but only measured 5’10 or even 5’10.5 at 17.5 years. I’m hoping for a 9 inch growth spurt. Parents 5’7 and 5’5 is it possible
I think hitting 6ft would be more realistic 👍
Trust me you don't want to be 6'6 it's only in your head that you find a reason to be insecure. Or maybe you do want it but it's not going to be realistic and whatever issues won't be magically solved
9 inch 😂 max 5 inch if you're insanely lucky
POV: you read about Dennis Rodman once
Wow 9 inche growth spurt, that's asking bit to much, ...but your just 17.5 years old at 5'10.5....big chance you hit 6'0 by 20 👍
I am 17 years old and have a beard, can I still grow taller?
Yes
I thought Rob parents were below average but no he’s father nearly 5’10 and mother 5’5. Rob could of been 6ft with those heights.
Yep
Yea I’m 6’1 and my parents are only 5’8 and 5’6. Guess he’s just a bit unlucky height wise
You need to update Joey Essex’s height. I’m around 5’9 and this guy was a giant compared to me. 100% over 6 foot
He wears big trainers but he definitely is nearer to 5'10 I think.
Does lifting weights stunt growth
Not really but lifting can make u shrink a bit more at the end of the day compared to if u didn’t lift

Joints, bones and discs can change…spine becomes more curved too as a result of degeneration.
Rob, can people in their 20s go through that
@@isaiahsantiago8462 no, you are not supposed too. Unless you get a very bad hip, back, or knees injury. Otherwise, most people shrinks a small fraction in their early 50s. But the big shrinkage usually comes in the 60s-70s
