Girls' skeletal closure age

Everyone wants to be tall, which gives people a better impression and makes them feel more confident. But after reaching a certain age, our bodies will stop growing. This is because our bones have begun to close and we will no longer grow taller. So, what is the age at which girls’ bones close?

The general period when girls grow noticeably in height is when their bone age is measured at around 11 to 14 years old, which is around the time when a girl has her first period. Generally, girls will experience a significant increase in height. For girls, the bone age at which they gradually stop growing is around 18 years old.

After the physical bone age is closed, you will basically not grow anymore. The time of bone closure for girls varies from person to person and is not fixed. Most girls stop growing after the age of 18. If you want to see if you can still grow, you need to go to the hospital for an X-ray of the kneecap to see if the epiphyseal line of the ankle is closed. If it has been closed, you will basically not grow anymore. Everyone's conditions are different. For example, genetics, acquired exercise and nutrition may affect height growth.

It cannot be changed by nature. If you want to change it later, you need to seize the opportunity before the closure of bone age measurement. You can start from three aspects.

Nutrition and Diet

Pay attention to your child's nutritional balance and nutrition on a daily basis. You can eat more foods or nourishing soups high in calcium, such as river shrimp, shrimp skin, bone soup, milk, etc. Be careful to control the amount and don't lose more than you gain by lacking nutrition, otherwise you will become fat paper.

Sleep quality

Men rely on eating, women rely on sleeping, and adequate sleep is a secret recipe for beauty and beauty for our female compatriots. It is also important for bone growth. Develop good work and rest habits and ensure adequate sleep.

Fitness

Exercise is the most natural and safest way to increase height. Moderate exercise can stimulate the secretion of growth hormone in children and make bones stronger, especially sports with more warm-up movements such as swimming, basketball, tennis, etc.

Calcium and zinc supplements

Calcium deficiency can be determined through testing. In addition to dietary intake, it can also be supplemented through medication. The prerequisite is to supplement what is lacking and how much is lacking.
