Abstract:
Objective To study the correlation of bone age and bone mineral density with age, height and weight of short children. Methods Sixty-four short children who were consulted and treated at the author's hospital from January 2016 to October 2018 were selected as research subjects. The general information including age, sex, height and weight of the children were recorded. The ultrasound bone density test was carried out at the same time. The bone mineral density and bone age were evaluated through plain carpal bone radiograph. The relationship between different bone age and bone mineral density value with age, height and weight was analyzed. Results The actual age of the enrolled children was positively correlated with bone mineral density and bone age (boys r=0.658, 0.919, girls r=0.641, 0.906). The height of the enrolled children was positively correlated with bone mineral density and bone age (boy r=0.561, 0.326, girls r=0.586, 0.349). The weight of the enrolled children was positively correlated with bone mineral density and bone age (boys r=0.340, 0.314, girls r=0.395, 0.282). Conclusion The bone age and bone mineral density of short children were positively correlated with their age, height and weight. In clinical diagnosis and treatment, the use of bone age and bone mineral density as a guide can produce more significant effects, which can be used as scientific indicators for the evaluation and prediction of short children.
