The age when the bone line of girls closes

The age when the bone line of girls closes

Biologists believe that when people reach a certain age, their bones will grow and form, and at this time the bones will naturally close, and the body height will remain at a height relative to the age. Women's bones generally grow slower than men's bones, and their bones will also be shorter than men's. At what age do girls' bone lines close? Let’s take a look at it together below.

The age at which the epiphyseal line closes is different for men and women. If it is a girl, it may be closed at around 14 years old; if it is a boy, it is around 16 or 18 years old, so the ages of men and women are different. The closure of the epiphyseal line indicates that the person is stagnant, especially the lower limbs will not grow long. From a medical point of view, the closure of the epiphyseal line is relatively specific, because each bone is different, such as the bones of the lower limbs, upper limbs, and spine are all different, but in general, the closure of the epiphyseal line indicates that the person may not grow anymore.

The purpose of bone age testing is to determine which direction the child's current growth and development is focused on, whether it is slow or fast. It is usually measured at the wrist. Bone age testing involves a relatively professional thing, which is more specialized and requires professional personnel. After taking the film, an ecological age is obtained based on the number of bones and their shape on the bone film, and then compared with the actual age to draw a conclusion. There is an epiphyseal line on every bone, but the two definitions are different from bone age detection. Many people think that measuring the epiphyseal line is still measuring whether a person is tall or not. The lower limbs and spine are the key. To put it simply, the epiphyseal line is closed. Measuring the epiphyseal line generally refers to measuring the epiphyseal line of the lower limbs and measuring the spine, but the lower limbs are dominant.

How to grow taller quickly when the bone line is closed

1. Skeletal line closure means that the cartilage between the epiphysis and the metaphysis appears as a wide translucent band on children's X-rays. When the cartilage is completely ossified, it is generally not easy for the human body to grow taller.

2. Tissues other than long bones still have room to grow even after the epiphyseal line is closed. It is recommended to exercise in daily life, pay attention to arrange time reasonably, and drink more milk, which is conducive to growing taller again.
