A member asked:
My son turned 18 on oct 6th. i'm concerned about his growth, and have mentioned it to his dr. regularly. he is 67 inches tall and weight is at 125.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Parental stature: The expected height of any male is about 2.5 inches more than the average of his parents height.If your kid seems short of your expectations you can have an evaluation of the remaining growth potential. A single x-ray of the left hand & wrist is evaluated for the level of bone maturity/remaining growth potential.If the grown centers have fused ( become adult in appearance) your son is done growing.
