Age of epiphyseal closure in girls

Many of our friends may have experienced some embarrassing situations when they were teenagers, such as growing too slowly or being shorter than people of the same age. The elderly say that pain in the bones and knees or swelling in the limbs when sleeping is a sign of growth. In fact, scientific research shows that growth is related to the epiphyseal line. If the epiphyseal line closes, growth will stop. Is this true? So how big is the epiphyseal line when closed?

1. The growth of the body depends on the epiphyseal line. If the epiphysis is closed, it is impossible to grow taller.

2. The epiphyseal line is the starting point of the musculoskeletal system. It grows on both sides of the long bones, that is, the bones of the limbs. Generally speaking, girls before the age of 12-13, boys before the age of 14-15, the epiphyseal cells are very active, so that children can continue to grow.

3. The age at which the epiphyseal line is completely closed is usually 18-22 years old. For boys, most epiphyseal closure occurs around the age of 18. Generally speaking, women's epiphyseal line closes earlier than men, and generally closes around the age of 18.

4. It is necessary to take an X-ray to check whether the epiphyseal line is closed. If it is closed, it will not be able to develop again. You can go to a general hospital for an X-ray to check it out.

Epiphyseal line closure and height increase method

1. Supply vitamins and methyl cellulose: Vitamins are factors that maintain life, among which the most important are vitamins A, B, and C, which are indispensable for body development. Especially vegetables and fruits contain a variety of nutrients, cellulose and minerals, so you should eat more fruits.

2. Participate in physical exercise: Increasing outdoor exercise can promote the body's renewal, accelerate blood circulation, improve breathing, digestion, regulate the detoxification system, and increase children's hormone secretion. Especially children, should do more exercises, such as jogging, jumping, etc., which have a positive effect on bone growth and make bones stronger.

3. Ensure adequate sleep quality: Sleep is also a "nutrient" that helps people grow taller. As the saying goes: People grow older when they sleep. Because good sleep can not only eliminate fatigue, but also after the body falls asleep, the children's growth hormone metabolism is more abundant than usual and lasts longer, which is beneficial to growth. Therefore, develop a regular lifestyle and ensure adequate sleep quality.

The height issue of children is a process from shallow to deep. It is hoped that parents can gradually guide their children's daily habits. Height is not a necessary criterion for measuring whether a person is outstanding, so you should not use some abnormal methods to "force the growth" of children's height. Maintain a balanced diet, strengthen exercise, and get enough sleep.
