What is the age that the bones are considered mature? KWIM?
With Elliots constitutional growth delay I am making sure to keep him RF (as I would anyway) as long as possible since his body age is younger than his actual age. More info at link for those interested. All that I have found is that they are considered to be the closest in age to the age that they fall at the 50th% for weight/length. Well, we all know that kids come in many different sizes for age, so that really isn't a good way to determine. I plan to ask his Dr to order the wrist xray which will give us his actual body age. Elliot isn't even on the charts at all but has gotten closer to the 5th%. Just trying to figure out what 'bone age' to aim for to keep him RF
