The height predicted by bone age test has some reference value, but it is not absolutely accurate.
Bone age test needs to be taken at the wrist joints and forearms, is through the calculation of several bone development and growth centers, and then deduce the bone age, generally speaking, the bone age and the actual age will be about a year difference, the bone age test can be more accurately reflect the degree of children’s growth and development, so as to further deduce the child’s future height.
There is a clear relationship between height and genetics, and also a strong relationship with nutrition and exercise. Therefore, children in their developmental period should avoid eating a lot of fried, sugary foods, and continue to grow in height through appropriate physical activities (such as bouncing for a certain amount of time each day), and by ensuring adequate sleep time.
If there is a big difference between the measured bone age and the actual age of the child, it means that the child’s development may have advanced or lagged, and it is necessary to go to a regular hospital and intervene under the guidance of a physician.
