Developing too early or backward is not good for children. Abnormal bone age generally indicates that there is a problem with a certain part of the child's body, which affects the development of height.
Bone age is not good in advance. Why not?
Height growth is like a one-way street. Once the epiphysis is closed, it can no longer grow tall. Therefore, parents need to pay attention to their children's height early on. The sooner you know that the skeletal line is closed, and the sooner you intervene, the more likely your child is to grow taller. As long as abnormalities are detected early and treated in time, children can generally reach genetic height. How many centimeters should children of different ages grow per year? How slow is it growing taller every year? In the first year after birth, the child's length increases by about 25 cm, and the growth rate in the first half of the year is the fastest: 0 to 3 months, an average monthly increase of 3.5 cm, 4 to 6 months, an average increase of 2 cm per month; 7 to 9 months, an average increase of 1.5 cm per month, 10 to 12 months, an average monthly increase of 1 cm. 1-3 years old, the average annual body length increases by 10-11 cm, and after 3 years old, it will increase by 5 to 7 cm per year.
How to make children grow up scientifically? What measures should be taken?
1. Go to the pediatric or endocrinology department of a regular medical institution. 2. Bone age measurement. Bone age is the most reliable indicator of the maturity of the human body. Abnormal early or backward bone age can reflect the unfavorable factors affecting growth and development, and timely treatment of the cause is given. Based on bone age, actual age and height, it is possible to predict lifetime height. Predicting height avoids missing the best time for treatment or unnecessary treatment. For children with physical retardation, predicting height can dispel the fear of being too short in the future. Infants and adolescents are the two golden periods of growth, and we must seize these two golden periods.
Illness: Also a key factor affecting height. Parents should also pay attention to improving their children's immunity. If their child has chronic diseases such as chronic cough and allergic rhinitis, they need to be treated early.
