Signs that girls stop growing taller

At present, the nutrition in the family is very rich. The height of many children has changed compared with the past. Children will continue to grow during puberty. At the same time, we will also pay attention to the baby's height and weight chart and compare it with the situation of our own children. So what are the signs that a girl has stopped growing?

Signs that girls stop growing taller

Whether a child looks tall or not can be evaluated by measuring his/her bone age. The age of bones is commonly known as bone age, which is a key indicator that determines a child's growth potential. Bone age assessment can more accurately reflect a person's development level and maturity level. Bone age is not necessarily synchronized with age. If the bone age is measured ahead of time, the child will develop early, and early development will mean early stop growing. If bone age measurement is delayed, children will experience growth retardation and their height will not meet the standard.

Measuring bone age shows that children may not be able to grow taller. Children's height growth is caused by the linear growth and development of bones. The cartilage on both sides of the long bones continues to grow and develop, and the epiphyseal cartilage constantly metabolizes osteoclasts and gradually ossifies. The bones continue to grow, and the child grows taller. When all the epiphyseal cartilages are ossified and the backbone is connected to the epiphyseal line, which is called epiphyseal line closure in medicine, the bones will no longer grow and the body will stop growing. Therefore, if you want to grow taller, you must grow before the epiphyseal line closes.

In addition to grasping the duration of gold treatment, the treatment method also determines whether the child's growth potential can be truly stimulated. Doctors say that when a patient's body lacks specific growth hormone and thus has or is likely to have health problems, it is necessary to give hormone-specific drugs on a regular basis to correct the developmental problems caused by growth hormone deficiency, but different individuals may have different symptoms or changes at different stages, and treatment must be customized to meet different needs.

Standard table of height and weight for infants

The standard table of infant height and weight is introduced in detail as follows:

1. The normal weight of a newborn baby is generally between 2500 grams and 4000 grams, the body length is between 46 and 52 centimeters, the baby's head circumference is 34 centimeters, and the chest circumference is slightly smaller than the baby's head circumference by 1 to 2 centimeters.

2. A temporary weight loss will occur 2 to 4 days after birth, which is called "physiological weight loss" in medicine. The weight loss usually does not exceed 300 grams. As the amount of milk consumed increases, the baby's weight begins to rise from the 4th or 5th day, and can be restored to the weight at birth within a week.

3. The average weight of a one-month-old baby is 4.9KG for boys and 4.6KG for girls. The average body length of full-month babies is 56.6 cm for boys and 55.6 cm for girls.

4. From birth to 1 year old, the baby's brain weight increases at an average rate of 1000 mg per day, and the number of cerebral neurons increases by 200,000 per minute within 6 months. Now we should pay attention to persistently supplementing our baby with fish oil to prevent the occurrence of rickets. If you find that your baby is crying, has night terrors, sweats easily, has restless sleep, or has bald spots on the pillow, please seek medical attention immediately.
