Question
My daughter is 10 and a half years old and 148 cm tall. How will her menstrual cycle affect her bone age after the bone age test?
Answer
Bones typically fuse around the age of 16, and they are completely fused by the age of 22. If the bones have not fully fused, growth plates will still be active, allowing for further height increase. Children should get plenty of sunlight, and their diet should include meat, eggs, beans, and foods rich in calcium, phosphorus, vitamins A and D, and vitamin C. Additionally, participating in ball sports and jumping exercises can help with height growth.
