Generally, the age of epiphyseal line closure is different between men and women, and different individuals will also be different. Generally speaking, women close relatively early, about at the age of 16- 18, while men close relatively late, generally at the age of 18-20, because women have earlier puberty than men. Parents should pay attention that if girls feel short or dissatisfied, they should take their children to the hospital as soon as possible. Generally, after girls enter high school, their height growth rate will obviously slow down. When they go to college, most people's epiphyses will almost close and their height will not increase significantly.

Boys, on the other hand, close later, and some of them may grow taller after entering the university. In short, parents must pay close attention to their children's height. If they feel that they are obviously shorter than their peers, it is recommended to take their children to the hospital as soon as possible, even if they are found in primary school or junior high school. Because problems are discovered and treated as soon as possible, there will be more room for children to grow up behind. There are many reasons for the poor height of children, such as insufficient supply of nutrients and lack of growth hormone. You should go to a specialist hospital to make a judgment.
