[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD has had several of these. I’ve heard that the older you are, the more accurate they are. For example, her first test at age 7 predicted 5’3. At 10, predicted 4’7. At 12 predicted 4’10 which is where she is at 15. My dd has always had older bone tests than her chronological age. I’m not sure why, but this indicates that they might stop growing sooner? Her tests are usually 1.5 years older so her growth is more like a 16.5 year old [/quote] At age 10, did they recommend growth hormone or any other intervention? My son is small, which may or may not make sense given his father is tall and his mother is quite small. His bone age is about 15 months younger than his actual age which also makes sense due to a now corrected health issue. But, I still wonder if we should monitor closely. But, only if it seems there is a growth hormone deficit. Not because I'm worried he may be of the 20% in the 20%tile.[/quote]
