Patient's question:
At 150cm, is there still room for me to grow taller? I haven't changed my voice, haven't developed a Adam's apple, haven't experienced nocturnal emissions, but I've grown some hair below my navel. Can I grow taller than 175cm? Can I still grow taller now? No history of past treatments or their effectiveness: None. Not concerned about any assistance: I am 13...Doctor's answer:
The heritability is 0.75, meaning that 75% of adult height is determined by heredity, while only 25% is influenced by environmental factors and others. Generally, if the parents are taller, the children tend to be taller; if the parents are shorter, the children also tend to be shorter. Based on this, the adult height of children can be estimated using the following formulas:For sons: Adult height (cm) = (Height of father + Height of mother) / 2 × 1.08
For daughters: Adult height (cm) = (Height of father × 0.923 + Height of mother) / 2
Guidelines:
First, it is recommended to carefully check whether there is a deficiency in trace elements and to also check whether growth hormone levels are normal. Additionally, pay attention to the fact that going to bed late can interfere with growth and development.
Note that the peak excretion of growth hormone occurs between 9 PM and 11 PM each day. It is also essential to ensure sufficient rest time and quality.
Additionally, pay attention to eating more vegetables, high-protein foods, high-quality protein foods, and calcium-rich foods and zinc-rich foods to prevent picky eating.
Ensure adequate rest time and quality. Engage in regular physical exercise, such as cycling, parallel bars, and other sports.
