I still remember when the child of the Kojima family was just born, the nurse came to print red footprints on the baby's birth certificate, and when she saw the baby's feet, she exclaimed: This baby is such a big pair of feet! I was still sullen and unhappy at that time, feeling that a girl with a pair of big feet, when she grew up, it was estimated that what shoes she wore would not look good, what was there to surprise?
The clinical grandmother saw my displeasure and comforted me: The proportion of the child's height and the size of the foot is the same, and your child will certainly not be short in the future. After listening to others say this, I turned from sadness to joy, holding the child's feet and looking at it again and again...
The height of the child follows the "standing seven sitting five plates three" rule, foot length = tall?
In life, many mothers will find that the child's feet grow particularly fast, and it will not take long to change a pair of shoes, so they will think of an old saying: "Long feet first", so is it not "feet" big children, can grow into big ones in the future?
In fact, each part of the human body has a certain proportion, and in general, the accepted saying in medicine is that "a person's height is 7-7.5 times the length of his feet".
And the old saying also says: "Stand seven and sit five plates three", which means that when a person stands, his height is equal to three times the length of his feet; when he sits, his height is 5 times the length of his feet; and when he sits cross-legged, the distance between his knees is equal to 3 times the length of his feet.
It can be seen that the current child is getting taller and taller, so the foot is also getting bigger and bigger, so the child's height is related to the size of the foot, but it is not absolute.
In addition to the regular rules, the following factors will also affect the relationship between the height and length of the child's feet
1) Genetic factors
In life, we will also find that some people's soles are not very large, but their height is very high; and some people are very tall, but the soles of their feet are not very large, in fact, the size of the soles of their feet is also related to the genetics of their parents.
Most people will follow the law of big feet, but some people are tall and small feet, so the children born will naturally be tall and small feet, and vice versa.
2) Nutritional factors
In addition, in addition to genetics, the size of the child's feet is also related to nutrition and exercise, and now many children, next year is not big, but the size of the soles of the feet has exceeded that of parents and mothers, which is actually inseparable from nutrition and exercise.
And many people have good congenital conditions, parents are big feet tall, but to the child here, nutrition did not keep up, the result missed the golden period of growth, in vain fell a genetically good favorable conditions.
3) Region
Some professionals have measured the relationship between height and foot length in different areas, and the height coefficient and foot length coefficient obtained are not the same, which shows that the environment and eating habits in various regions will also affect the height and foot size of children.
Therefore, the relationship between height and soles of the feet, most of the time follow a certain relationship, but there are some unexpected situations may lead to special cases, as a child's parents, want the child to grow tall, we must seize the key period of height growth, let the child eat well, sleep well, exercise well is the key.
These two parts can also judge the child's future height change trend
Height and arm relationship
As mentioned above, the length between various parts of the human body is a relatively fixed ratio, of course, except for those who are more professional basketball players, or people who often engage in physical activity.
For ordinary people, their height and the length of their arms are proportional, and they will basically tend to be consistent.
Therefore, many parents want to understand the height of their children, and they can judge a rough range of values of their children's height by measuring the unfolded length of their children's arms.
Relationship between height and bone age
In fact, compared to judging the height development of children from the soles of the feet and arms, the most scientific and reliable method is to judge through the bone slits. To determine that the child can continue to grow taller, you can go to the hospital regularly to check the bone seam to see if the bone seam has healed.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the child's bone slit has not yet healed, then the child can still grow taller. Many people with short stature can also manage their height at this time.
Extended reading: The length of the neck will also roughly determine whether the child will be tall in the future
In addition to the soles of the feet and arms, the length of a person's neck also has a certain relationship with height.
It is not difficult to find in life that most of the tall stars in the entertainment industry have "thin and long" necks. As an important part of the human body, if the child's neck is very slender, other parts of the body will naturally develop well in order to cooperate with coordination.
In general, long necks and long legs will be standard, so it can be seen that children with long necks will not be too short in height in the future.
Kojima would like to say:
The height of the child is a big thing for parents to worry about, parents should not complain about themselves because of the bad congenital conditions, and do not think that the child has an advantage because of the large soles of the feet, and if you want to grow tall, you still have to pay more attention to the day after tomorrow training.
