A member asked:
If my son is age 12 but has a bone age of one year behind (taken about 5 years ago) would i use age 11 in one of the height calculators?

Not necessarily: A bone age of 1 year behind from 5 years ago could very well have changed by now--could be that the bone age has caught up and now he is a bone age of 12, not 11. Or maybe his bone age is even ahead and he is 13, not 12. You should use his chronological age, 12. And if you are still worried about his height, go see an endocrinologist and have another bone age and workup done.

Invalid use: Only a recent (within 6 mo) bone age would be an appropriate factor to use such a calculator. Your regular doc could order one for you.
