Question
My son is 150 cm tall and his bone age shows he is 13 and a half years old. He has already entered puberty. I want to know how much taller he can grow in the future? I am 163 cm tall, and his father is 174 cm tall, but why is he so short compared to his peers? Please ask the doctor for assistance.
Answer
Height is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Children should maintain a positive attitude, maintain a healthy lifestyle, pay attention to dietary hygiene and balanced nutrition, ensure adequate sleep, and engage in appropriate exercise, especially jumping exercises, which can help with growth. If necessary, you can go to the endocrinology department of a regular hospital for further examination, including growth hormone tests, to confirm the cause of the disease and receive targeted treatment.
