A variety of factors can cause children to be short in stature

  Short stature can be the result of a particular disorder or multiple factors. Genetic factors have a great influence on height, about 70%. And the influence of many environmental factors, such as nutrition, disease, maternal and pregnancy conditions, and living conditions, is about 30 percent.  ”There are many causes of short stature in children, which are generally divided into growth hormone deficiency and non-growth hormone deficiency. If growth hormone is deficient or underproduced, other endocrine diseases such as hypothyroidism, precocious puberty, genetic factors, chromosomal variants, and idiopathic dwarfism may make children short.” However, it is only after the specialist asks a detailed medical history, a comprehensive physical examination and a comprehensive analysis that it is clear whether the child has any of these diseases.  If you want your child to have a taller height, parents need to pay attention to providing adequate nutrition, ensuring enough sleep, active physical exercise, minimizing diseases, and maintaining good mood.
