  • 2

    Annual axial elongation decreased with increasing age, with the youngest group (6 years) showing the greatest elongation.

  • 3

    Statistical analysis revealed a significant effect of age on axial elongation, with younger children experiencing more growth.

  • 4

    Children aged 6 and 7 years had significantly greater axial elongation compared to those aged 9 years.

  • 5

    Each additional year of age was associated with a 0.093 mm decrease in annual axial elongation.
