Bone Age Height Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Bone Age Height (BAH):

\[ BAH = (BA \times HCM) + HCA \]

Where:

\(BAH\) is the Bone Age Height
\(BA\) is the Bone Age
\(HCM\) is the Height Correction Multiplier
\(HCA\) is the Height Correction Addition

What is Bone Age Height?

Bone age height is a measurement used in pediatric medicine to assess the maturity of a child’s skeletal system. It is determined through an X-ray of the hand and wrist, comparing the development of the child’s bones to standard growth charts. This information can help doctors diagnose growth disorders, predict future height, and determine the appropriate timing for certain medical interventions.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Bone Age (\(BA\)) = 10 years
Height Correction Multiplier (\(HCM\)) = 5 cm/year
Height Correction Addition (\(HCA\)) = 2 cm

Using the formula:

\[ BAH = (10 \times 5) + 2 = 52 \text{ cm} \]

The Bone Age Height is 52 cm.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Bone Age (\(BA\)) = 8 years
Height Correction Multiplier (\(HCM\)) = 4.5 cm/year
Height Correction Addition (\(HCA\)) = 3 cm

Using the formula:

\[ BAH = (8 \times 4.5) + 3 = 39 \text{ cm} \]

The Bone Age Height is 39 cm.
