Genetic height is not fixed, and factors such as weakness of the spleen and stomach, food intolerance, obesity, and malnutrition may also affect children's height, growth and development.
Specific causes of short stature
Diseases of the nervous system center
Hypothalamic pituitary tumor, craniofacial midline developmental defects, hydrocephalus, psychopsychiatric disorders.
Diseases of the respiratory system
Bronchial asthma, chronic pulmonary insufficiency, diseases of the cardiovascular system, congenital heart disease (cyanotic type), rheumatoid arthritis in children.
Digestive disorders
Intestinal malabsorption syndrome, chronic hepatic insufficiency, chronic diarrhea, urological disorders, chronic renal failure.
Hematologic disorders
Severe anemia, diseases of the endocrine system, growth hormone deficiency, hypothyroidism, hypoparathyroidism, hypercortisolism (Cushing's syndrome), adrenal hypercortical bovine disease, precocious puberty, type 1 diabetes mellitus.
Inherited metabolic disorders
Trisomy 21, congenital ovarian hypoplasia (Turner syndrome), Prade-Willi syndrome, glycogen storage disease, mucopolysaccharidosis, renal tubular acidosis, congenital achondroplasia, congenital osteogenesis hypoplasia, antivitamin D rickets.
There are also children who have short stature due to severe malnutrition, familial short stature, constitutional delayed puberty, and intrauterine growth retardation (small for gestational age).
For children with a significant gap in height and their peers, if they do not intervene in time, it will cause serious harm to the child.
Seize the growth and development period
Growth and development** without delay
If your child grows less than 5 cm taller per year, is half a head shorter than children of the same age or younger, and does not buy large clothes and shoes for a long time, then be careful, you may suffer from short stature!
Growth and development are related to the happiness of children's lives, and the following 6 points are suggestions for parents and friends:
1.Picky eaters should be corrected early, and those who are intolerant should be vigilant.
2.Growth and development nutrients (calcium, vitamin D3, vitamin K2) are indispensable and cannot be supplemented as needed.
3.Pay attention to the quality of sleep, go to bed early and get up early and don't stay up late.
4.Weight management is especially important, and it is difficult to be too thin or too fat.
5.Sitting for a long time hurts your muscles and bones, and jumping helps you grow taller.
6.Regular monitoring is careless, and growth hormone is timely.
