The normal height range of a 16-year-old boy is about 158cm to 183cm, with an average height of about 171cm, which is affected by individual nutritional status, heredity and other factors. A person’s height is affected by a variety of factors, first of all, family genetic factors account for 70%, and the other 30% is determined by environmental and social factors, nutritional status, exercise, and even by certain medical diseases. If a child is much lower than normal, it is important to check if the growth hormone, thyroid hormone, and vitamin D are within the normal range. If there is an abnormality in the levels of the three hormones mentioned above, the child’s height may not reach the normal standard. If you want to promote height development, you can exercise more, such as running, playing basketball, jumping rope, swimming and other sports to achieve the purpose of promoting height development. However, it is better to go to the hospital to check whether the epiphysis is healed or not. If it is not healed, you can supplement the nutrition appropriately to promote the development of height. Normally, you can eat more protein-rich foods with high calcium content, such as milk, eggs, soy milk, shrimp, crab, beef, chicken, liver, pork, cheese and so on. If you find abnormal height, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time.
