Normal height for a 14-year-old girl

14-year-old girls are in puberty. During this period, children's growth and development are relatively fast. Depending on genetics, nutrition, physical constitution, etc., the height of 14-year-old girls also varies. Generally speaking, it can reach about 1.5 to 1.6 meters. There are many factors that affect height, including genetic factors, Eastern and Western races, and other common reasons.

Normal height for a 14-year-old girl

About 150cm.

How to calculate height: Standard weight for men (kg) = height (cm) - 100.

The ideal weight for northerners = (height cm-150)×0.6+50 (kg).

The ideal weight for southerners = (height cm-150)×0.6+48 (kg).

The height of the body is determined by the bones. There are a total of 206 bones in the body that play a major role in the growth of height, mainly the vertebrae of the spine and the bones of the lower limbs. Among them, the length of the lower limb bones plays a decisive role. Before the age of 7, the bones of the upper limbs and lower limbs are the same. At the age of 7-8, the growth of the lower limb bones accelerates and soon surpasses the upper limb bones. During puberty, the lower limb bones grow more rapidly and the height also increases significantly. This period is a critical period for the height of the body and is a decisive factor. A 14-year-old girl is generally in puberty and her height can reach about 158cm.

What is the average height of people from the north and south?

In the north, boys over 1.85 meters tall and girls over 1.70 meters tall are considered tall.

In the south, boys around 1.75 meters tall and girls around 1.65 meters tall are considered relatively tall.

We already have a certain understanding of height and weight. As parents, we do not need to worry about our children's weight and height. We should pay more attention to diet and exercise. There are also certain genetic reasons involved. We can use the above normal height and weight calculation method to calculate ourselves to know whether our children are within a reasonable growth range. If they do not meet the standards, they must be supplemented immediately.

What factors affect height?

Genetics: Genetic factors are very important. The characteristics, potential, and trends of children's growth and development are affected by the genetic factors of both parents. The child's height is closely related to the height of the parents. The general formula for the parents' height can be used to calculate the approximate range of the children's height when they grow up.

Gender: The growth and development of boys and girls have their own rules and characteristics. Generally speaking, boys are taller than girls, but at certain age groups, girls may be taller than boys. For example, around 11-13 years old, because girls enter puberty 2 years earlier than boys.

Nutrition: Children's growth and development must have a complete supply of nutrients, and the nutrition needs to be balanced. On the basis of ensuring the necessary calories, they need to provide high-quality protein foods, such as fish, meat, eggs, milk, etc. At the same time, they also need various vitamins and minerals, including trace elements. Balanced nutrition can maximize growth potential.

Disease: Disease has a very obvious effect on growth and development. Chronic infection often causes weight loss; long-term chronic diseases affect the development of weight and height; endocrine diseases often cause delayed bone growth and nervous system development; congenital diseases have a more obvious impact on growth and development.

Maternal pregnancy status: The development of the fetus in the uterus is affected by various factors such as the living environment, nutrition, emotions and diseases of the pregnant mother. If the fetus is slow to grow in the uterus, it may affect the child's slow growth after birth and even affect the final height.
