When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

altura/talla media (ponderada) de sus padres
... de la talla media (ponderada) de sus padres
... de la talla diana calculada a partir de la talla media de sus padres
La respuesta de Cecilia es correcta. "Talla diana" es denominación habitual para referirse a la talla prevista del niño, calculada a partir de la talla media ponderada de sus padres. Planteo alternativa porque traducir calculated midparental height como talla diana en este caso resulta en una lectura que precisa relectura para ser entendida, mientras que una traducción más natural permite una lectura tal vez también más natural.

: "midparental height" describe la talla media parental/sí, por eso me parecía que "talla diana" se queda corto. Además efectivamente hablan de un cálculo o habrá que hacer un ajuste. Salu2

Grax, abe. El concepto es más específico de lo que parece, en referencia al cálculo de la altura estimada que alcanzará un niño a partir de la altura media de los padres, con un factor de corrección en función del sexo. De ahí la inclusión de "ponderada".
