The fact that height is mainly determined by genes is a logical or genetic fact?

Edit Post

Since the genes about height are not discovered and researches completely due to the technology, I am wondering the fact that height is mainly determined by genes is assertive or based on genetic evidences.
I am not skeptical about this matter of fact cuz I am not that retard but I am curious about the very original researches about it.
Are there multiple researchers who discovered this fact or just only 'logicists'?

But give it a rest, you guys talking about wanting the height you "should've" had and nothing more.  Live in the present.  You're a certain height now.  Does it cause you problems or distreses?
I just don't want my children follow my track if I can have one.

There have been some couple studies measuring the final heights of people who were hospitalized for eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa in their teens. Teens that recovered from an ED were shown to have stunted growth compared to their genetic potential (calculated using the heights of their mothers and fathers); women fell 1 - 1.5 inches short of their predicted height, while men fell 2-3 inches short I believe. I don't remember off the top of my head if these numbers described an average or the standard deviation or what.
"Genetic potential" calculations have some degree of error, but I am guessing there was a control group or control statistics on how tall non-ED teens grow compared to their genetic potential.

Pretty intuitive that starvation during adolescence = stunted growth, but I think it's cool they attempted to quantify it. Searching "teens" "anorexia" "stunted growth" should bring up papers like this
Sure but malnutrition is actually a disease not just something like 'I am picky about food', 'I love cookies so I don't achieve enough nutritions' and similar stuffs. Malnutrition must be examined by medical tools or other professional methods I think.
