At what age does the skeleton stop growing?

According to Zhu Haiqing, senior nutritionist of Hailin Nutritionist Office, the speed of bone growth depends on the age of the individual, usually the younger the age, the faster the growth rate, and generally people will no longer grow taller at the age of 20 or 22. Secondly, there should be enough sleep, in the human sleep state, the pituitary will secrete auxin, if you want to grow taller, but your own auxin secretion is insufficient, you can consider the injection of auxin. Third, it is necessary to cooperate with exercise, especially weight-bearing exercises such as high jump, rope skipping, mountain climbing, and stair climbing to help bone growth.

Fourth, in terms of diet, calcium, magnesium, protein, vitamin C, vitamin D, etc. are all nutrients that are conducive to bone growth, and most foods can provide these nutrients, especially milk, soy products, fresh vegetables and fruits, etc.

The amount of calcium absorbed directly affects the growth of bones and affects the growth and height of people. First of all, the absorption of calcium is related to age, the younger the age, the higher the calcium absorption rate, the general infant calcium absorption rate is 60%, adults are 20%, the elderly are less, the absorption of calcium around the age of 18 is only 25%, so calcium supplementation is the earlier the better.

Second, increase the intake of calcium in the diet, milk contains more calcium components, and the absorption is also more, and drinking more milk can increase calcium intake.

Third, more sunlight can convert 7-dehydrocholesterol into vitamin D3 and help the absorption and utilization of calcium.

Fourth, eat foods that are rich in lactose, such as milk. It can reduce the pH value of the intestine and facilitate calcium absorption.

Fifth, the right amount of protein has certain amino acids that help with calcium absorption.

Seventh, a low-phosphorus diet, too high phosphorus will affect the absorption of calcium, generally processed foods, such as sausages, ice cream, cola and other beverages, are high-phosphorus foods, should be eaten less.

Generally, after puberty, the epiphysis gradually begins to close, that is, it stops growing.

Note: The epiphysis is the germinal layer between the bone end and the backbone, and you will know the result when you go to the hospital to take an X-ray

The time it takes for bones to stop developing varies from person to person. If you are a boy, you are about 23 years old. At present, it is best to go to the local hospital for a radiograph examination to see if the scaly line of the long bone is closed, if it is not completely closed, it can still grow taller.

Eat more high-calcium and high-protein foods and don't stay up late. Get plenty of sun. Doing more exercise is good for growing taller. If the epiphyseal line is completely closed, it is very unlikely that you will grow any longer.

Generally at the age of seventeen or eighteen, it stops developing after puberty. However, for girls, it is closed at the age of fourteen or fifteen. After the growth stops, the bones generally do not become longer or wider, and only the short bones, such as fingers and toes, can change.

Because the epiphysis generally closes earlier in females than males, adult females are shorter than males.

To reach your full growth potential, you should eat plenty of vegetables and high-protein foods, as well as calcium- and selenium-rich foods.

The gradual growth of people in the process of growth is the result of bone growth and development, and it is mainly manifested in the growth of lower limb bones and vertebrae.

When can our height grow, it depends on the situation of the whole body growth plate is closed, if the growth plate is closed, it means that the bone has matured, the bone will no longer grow, and the height will not increase again, generally under normal circumstances, the male is 20 years old.

In medicine, there is no strict age estimate for human bones to stop growing, generally women will stop growing after the age of 18 and men 20 years old, but some bones of the human body can continue to grow with the needs of the human body. Human bone growth is divided into congenital and acquired, congenital is caused by genetic factors, and acquired factors are personal growth and development in addition to congenital factors, both of which jointly affect the growth of human bones.

It is recommended to go to the hospital to take an X-ray to observe whether the epiphyseal line exists, and judge whether the bone can continue to be normal. If there is still a epiphyseal line, it is theoretically possible for the bone to grow.

Disease analysis: In general, bone growth stops only after the end of puberty, generally around the age of 18, when the bone scale line has been closed.

Guidance: Once the bone scale line is closed, the skin will stop and continue to develop, as long as the examination of the film can be confirmed.
