Growth arrest lines can be a sign of chronic malnutrition during skeletal development. Basically your bones want to grow but lack the nutrients to accomplish it, and that leaves something like a tree ring at the end of the bones. Other things can cause them, too.

Do these arrest lines stay for life, or does bone remodeling eventually fade them? How long would that take?
