According to the latest 2023 Height Status Report, the average height of adult men in China is 1738 cm, the average height of an adult female is 1610 cm. This data reflects the significant increase in height of Chinese in the past 20 years, with the average height of men increasing by 71 cm, the average height of women increased by 59 cm. This growth trend is closely related to the improvement of China's material living standards, the improvement of medical conditions, and the optimization of dietary structure and nutritional supplementation.
1. Genetic factors: The height of parents has a great impact on the height of their children. Genetic factors are transmitted through genes and determine the potential range of height, which is known as genetic height.
2. Nutritional status: Nutrition is an important condition for body growth, and the intake of nutrients such as protein, minerals (such as calcium, phosphorus), and vitamins (such as vitamin D) is crucial for bone growth.
3. Endocrine system: growth hormone, thyroid hormone and other endocrine hormones have a direct effect on the growth of height. Any condition that affects the secretion of these hormones can affect height.
4. Physiological health: Chronic diseases, digestive diseases, kidney diseases and other health problems may affect the absorption and utilization of nutrients, thereby affecting the growth of height.
5. Living environment: Environmental factors such as socio-economic conditions, living conditions, and health conditions will also affect height. For example, good sanitation and the ability to prevent disease can raise the height of the population as a whole.
6. Physical exercise: Moderate physical exercise can promote the growth of bones and muscles, which has a positive impact on height.
7. Sleep quality: Growth hormone is mainly secreted during deep sleep, so adequate sleep is very important for the height growth of children and adolescents.
8. Psychological factors: Long-term psychological stress and emotional problems may indirectly affect the growth of height by affecting the endocrine system.
It should be noted that the growth in height occurs mainly in childhood and adolescence, when the growth plates of the bones in adulthood are closed, and the growth of height is basically no longer grown. Therefore, health management in childhood is particularly important for the achievement of final height.
1. Observation and recording: Continue to observe the growth of the child and record the growth trend of height and weight. If your child's growth curve deviates significantly from that of a normal child, further attention may be needed.
2. Consult a doctor: If you are worried about your child's height growth, you should consult a pediatrician or a professional growth and development doctor. Your doctor may recommend tests such as blood tests, bone age assessment, growth hormone level testing, etc., to rule out potential health problems.
3. Check your nutritional intake: Make sure your child has a balanced diet that contains enough protein, vitamins and minerals, especially calcium and vitamin D, which are essential for bone growth.
4. Sleep quality: ensure that children have enough sleep, because growth hormone is mainly secreted during deep sleep. Establish a regular sleep routine to ensure that your child gets quality sleep every night.
5. Physical exercise: Encourage children to participate in appropriate physical activities, especially outdoor sports, such as running, swimming, basketball, etc., which help promote the growth of bones and muscles.
6. Genetic factors: understand the family genetic history, and the parent's height has a significant impact on the final height of the child. If the parent is short, the child may also be affected by genetic factors.
7. Avoid bad habits: Avoid children from consuming too much sugar and junk food, which may lead to nutritional imbalance and obesity, which can affect normal growth and development.
8. Psychological factors: Long-term psychological pressure and emotional problems may also affect children's growth. Provide a welcoming, supportive, and encouraging environment that contributes to your child's physical and mental well-being.
9. Regular bone density testing: Regular bone density testing helps parents understand their children's growth and determine whether calcium supplementation is needed.
Ultrasonic bone densitometry is to use "high-precision" ultrasound technology to determine the mineral density of human bones, accurately and quickly detect and analyze bone conditions, intelligently issue nutrition and meridian intervention programs for bone-related diseases, and achieve safe, accurate, fast and intelligent bone condition management. It is widely used in general hospitals, maternal and child health care hospitals, township health centers, community health service centers and other institutions.
For bone densitometry in children, ultrasound bone densitometry is more appropriate.
High level of securityUltrasonic bone densitometers essentially use ultrasound technology for detection without using any radioactive materials, so they are safer than dual-energy X-ray bone densitometers and do not produce any *** on children's physical health
High precisionUltrasonic mode, probe double transmitter and double receiver technology is adopted to ensure the accuracy and repeatability of measurement.
Convenient and fast:Measure the radius part of the arm, complete the detection within 40s, fast speed, no cross-contamination.
Easy to operateTesting with an ultrasonic bone densitometer does not require special preparation and environmental conditions, and is a very simple, quick test method that does not require waiting and can be completed with only one minute of operation time, making it ideal for children.
Scope of applicationUltrasonic bone densitometers are suitable for children of different ages, whether they are growing or pre-adult.
