subject: Bone Age And Height Have A Big Relationship [print this page] How to interpret the relationship of bone age and height? How to correctly understand the developmental stages of children and the body height?
If a girl of 10 years old, height, all is 145 centimetres, other conditions are the same, but with a bone age and physiological age, description of bone healing and quite time, future can grow to more than 165 cm, another bone age has up to 12 years of age, and have been to menarche, height growth have a greater potential for the future, at the height of 150 cm. Through the example, we can find, the same age, same high child, because of different age, there is a big difference. Skeletal age, i.e. skeletal growth cycle. Is the domestic and foreign experts recognized accurately reflect human maturity, skeletal growth conditions is an important and quantitative count index. It can not only determine the child's biological age, can also understand the child's height and skeletal maturation potential trend. The height growth of limited time, skeletal growth zones ( epiphysis) once closed, will lose the adjustment height space and possibility.
Growth plate may be hidden in a 10 cm height
Previous hospital test bone 's main purpose is to determine whether the child pathological short stature, and for most of the normal range of partial short children, how to gain advantage growth, is more important. Scientists discover, growth plate is human skeletal development of nutrient source and power source, the thicker the growth plate, longitudinal bone growth power is more sufficient, potential is greater and taller; potential decreases. Combined with the growth plate thickness of morphological analysis, can accurately judge the height potential and growth phase, to formulate the correct height adjustment scheme is crucial. If the child has been lost long high potential, no efforts were in vain; if a child is in the early stages of development, and development in the middle stage of standard error, making height adjustment scheme, no doubt due to the height potential waste.
In vivo growth substances and distribution is the key
Effects of high child is a critical factor in vivo growth elements distribution and activity. Therefore, trying to raise children in vivo growth element content and activity level becomes a key, by the Chinese Academy of Sciences is a research institute recently in this area has made great breakthrough, the use of biological technology, expression of the small molecular polypeptide growth substances, successfully overcome the substance after oral administration, its activity is destroyed by stomach acid problem, at the same time to promote its own secretion.
