There is a close correlation between bone age and children's height, and the height of each age stage is highly correlated with adults. Therefore, according to the bone age currently tested, the space for further growth can be predicted. When forecasting, you need to input the current height and bone age, and you also need to input whether girls will have menstruation. Then use different forecasting formulas to calculate the adult height.
2 Is the bone age test accurate in height? The bone age test will have a slight deviation in height.
Predicting height through bone age is a scientific method to delay growth through current bone age, and the general trend can't be wrong. However, there may still be some deviation, because there are many factors affecting height. No matter which method is used for forecasting, it is impossible to take all factors into account in the forecasting formula. Moreover, after each prediction, many factors such as nutrition, disease and environment of the predicted object cannot be predicted. Although these prediction methods have certain scientific basis, the error of height prediction is always inevitable.
3 How can bone age predict height? Firstly, the development of bones was observed by instruments, and then doctors interpreted the bone age through a series of counting methods to confirm the true bone age. Then compare the real bone age with the existing age and comprehensively analyze the growth and development space. Under normal circumstances, every year a child's bone age is older, he stops growing one year ahead of schedule, and his height is 3-5 cm shorter.
4 How to predict height is too short If the height is predicted by bone age, as long as the epiphyseal line is not closed, you can find out the reason, carry out corresponding hormone therapy under the guidance of a doctor, or promote height growth by changing eating habits, such as controlling diet, avoiding overnutrition, not eating greasy and hormonal foods, and not eating various tonics. You can also maintain the normal growth of bones through exercise. It is best to choose aerobic exercise for more than 30 minutes every day. And be sure to sleep, let the children go to bed before 9: 30 in the evening, and ensure the secretion of growth hormone during sleep.
