**Title:** Scientifically Proven Ways to Increase Height (for Teenagers)

**Key Points:**

1. **Growth Stage:** Height increase methods only work for those still in the growth stage (until epiphyseal plate closes).
* Typically up to 18 years old for girls and 21 years old for boys.
2. **Requirements for Height Increase:**
1. **Calculation:** Use a formula (based on Indonesian Pediatric Association, differs for boys and girls) to determine potential height increase.
2. **Nutrition:** Consume essential nutrients (e.g., Calcium, Vitamins D and A) for growth.
3. **Sports:** Engage in jumping sports (e.g., basketball, skipping) to stimulate the epiphyseal plate.
4. **Posture:** Maintain correct posture to support spine growth and overall height development.
3. **Importance:** Optimize the "golden times" of growth to achieve potential height, as missed opportunities cannot be regained after the growth stage ends.

Facts

Here are the extracted key facts in short sentences, numbered for reference:

**Biological Facts**

1. The epiphyseal plate in long bones contributes to height increase during the growth stage.
2. The epiphyseal plate closes, ending the growth stage, at different times for males and females.
3. For girls, the epiphyseal plate closes more quickly, typically around 18 years of age.
4. For boys, the epiphyseal plate closes more slowly, typically around 21 years of age.
5. After the epiphyseal plate closes, significant height increase is not possible through bone growth.
6. Post-epiphyseal plate closure, some height increase can occur due to spinal posture improvement.

**Methodology and Tools**

7. A formula from the Indonesian Pediatric Association can estimate potential adult height.
8. Different formulas are used for boys and girls to estimate potential adult height.
9. X-rays can be used to check if the epiphyseal plate is open or closed, though this is rarely done for height assessment.

**Lifestyle Influences on Height**

10. Nutrition is crucial for height gain during the growth stage.
11. Key nutrients for height gain include calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin A.
12. Certain sports, especially those involving jumping (e.g., basketball, skipping), can help stimulate growth.
13. Maintaining correct posture during the growth stage is important for optimal spine and overall height development.
14. Poor posture habits during the growth stage can lead to conditions like kyphosis, hindering optimal height gain.
