How to determine bone closure?

People with tall stature generally have an enviable and unique temperament, which is what everyone wants to be like. It is an indisputable fact that everyone wants to grow taller, but due to various reasons, there is still a big difference in height among people. Once the human skeleton is closed, the body will not grow taller. But how do you determine whether the skeleton is closed? Regarding this issue that many people are concerned about, let’s take a look at the following introduction.

The best way to determine whether the bones are closed is to go to the hospital for an X-ray to see the growth line of the bones. Skeletal closure means that the bones are generally divided into the shaft and epiphysis. The epiphysis will continue to grow cartilage, which will calcify and become bones, and you will grow taller in this way. When you reach a certain age, the epiphysis will no longer grow cartilage, and it will also calcify and connect to the shaft. The bones are closed and your height stops growing.

The human body grows taller because the pituitary gland in the human brain secretes growth hormone, which acts on the body's skeletal cells, effectively accelerating the deposition and accumulation of nutrients on the epiphyseal line, promoting bone growth and development, thereby achieving natural growth in height. Generally speaking, the most active period of human growth and development is puberty, which for girls is around 12 to 13 years old, which is half a year to a year of breast development; for boys is around 14 to 15 years old, which is about a year after voice change. During this period, the epiphyseal lines of adolescents are also in a state of expansion.

If the epiphyseal line heals, it means that the long bones will no longer grow, which means that our legs and arms will no longer grow. The saying "twenty-three, one jump" means that we can grow taller through non-long bone tissues, especially the lengthening of the spine, including bones and interosseous tissues (this is still very obvious to quite a number of people). The fuzziness of the epiphyseal line indicates that closure is approaching, but the closure of the lower limbs will be later than that of the upper limbs. Also, due to family genetics, there is still some room for growth, but the space will not be too large (only considering the growth of long bones).

Short people should continue exercising to grow taller, as quantitative changes and accumulation will lead to qualitative changes. If you find that the epiphyseal line has closed or is about to close, you must seize the time to delay the closure of the epiphyseal line and create room for growth.

How to determine bone closure? The way to accurately determine whether the bones have closed is to go to the hospital and receive X-rays. If you want to grow taller, you should improve your diet and get more rest during the period of bone development. You should also actively participate in physical exercise. This way, you will grow taller quickly.
