Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Yang Zhaohua
At age 16, a height of approximately 160–170 cm is generally considered normal. For girls, a height around 160 cm is typical, whereas for boys, a height around 170 cm is typical. However, height varies considerably and cannot be precisely predicted, as it is strongly influenced by genetic factors. It is recommended to consume calcium-rich foods regularly, such as eggs, meat, and milk.
