How Can I Determine If I Will Still Grow Taller?

To determine whether a person will grow taller, one can go to the hospital to check if the epiphysis is closed. If the epiphysis is not closed, it indicates that there is still room for growth. In this case, it is recommended to exercise more and consume more calcium-rich foods to promote physical growth. However, if the epiphysis is closed, the body will not grow taller anymore. Although taking medication can help increase height, the effect is not very significant.

Whether a person can grow taller depends on whether the epiphysis of the long bone ends is closed. If the epiphysis is not closed, there is still potential for growth. If the epiphysis is closed, there will be no further growth. Clinically, wrist radiography is commonly used for this purpose. If the epiphysis of the distal radius of the wrist is not closed, the person can continue to grow taller. However, if the epiphysis of the distal radius of the wrist is closed, there will be no further growth.

Therefore, to determine whether a person can grow taller, it is necessary to undergo wrist X-ray examination to check if the epiphysis is closed. If the epiphysis is not closed, the person can still grow taller. If the epiphysis is closed, there will be no further growth. In daily life, it is recommended to participate in more physical exercises, avoid staying up late, and consume more calcium-rich foods such as sesame paste or peanut butter. If necessary, calcium tablets can be taken to increase height. The above methods are suitable for people under 18 years old. However, for those over 18 years old, the growth of height has gradually slowed down, and taking medication to increase height may not yield satisfactory results.
