1st time ko lang po dito, sana po masagot yung tanong ko, about po ito sa height. Kaka 20 ko lang po this october, tanong ko lang po kung may pag asa pa po ako tumangkad, ano po ba ang mga pointers na kailangan ko gawin. Di ko po alam kung sarado na yung Growth plates ko. Ang height naman po ng father at mother ko ay 5'7 and 5'5 at their peak. May pagasa pa po ba akong tumangkad ng atleast 1 inch before hitting 21? Salamat po.

Hi James! Usually ang growth plates ng lalaki ay nagsasara between the ages of 15-17. At hindi rin assurance na kapag matatangkad ang iyong mga magulang ay ikaw rin ay magiging matangkad. Minsan kasi ang nagmamanifest sa bata ay ang recessive gene ng parents. May problema ba sa height mo? May kinakailangan kabang abutin na height limit for work or project?

Salamat po sa pag reply! Kailangan po kase sa work ay 180cm, ang height ko po ay 175cm, depende po ba sa genes ko ang magiging height ko? Naalala ko po kase yung kuya ko nung 20 years old po sya 178 lang po height nya. Tapos pagdating ng 21-22 naging 185cm po. May pagasa pa po ba ako? kung may exercise and right nutrition willing po ako gawin lahat ng advice. Pero kung di na po talaga ako tatangkad i gigiveup ko na lang yung work ko.

Hi James! Yes, ang trait na height ay depende sa genes na iyong nakuha from your parents. Minsan, iba-iba rin ang growth spurt ng isang tao. Kung hindi mo makukuha ang work na iyong gusto ngayon dahil sa height requirement, puwede mo naman siguro balikan say after you turned 21 or 22? Possible din naman na ang nangyari sa kuya mo ay mangyari din sa iyo.
