For height problems, more and more parents of many children are concerned about, so how can children have the ideal height? The rumor is that it doesn’t matter if you’re short as a child, you’ll be able to catch up if you make up more during puberty!
Truth: In the process of children’s growth and development, the growth of epiphysis plays a decisive role in height. After puberty, the epiphysis will all be ossified, there is no longer room for growth, and height will not grow. Parents should not have a “wait and see” mentality, but should instead try to detect and treat the problem as early as possible. Early treatment can maximize the adult height of the patient. Rumor 2: The first time you take your child for a height check, the results are normal. Then there is no need to go back for follow-up visits!
Truth: Growing children, whether their height is improving and increasing or growing and lagging, need longitudinal observation for scientific judgment and treatment. If the annual growth is constantly lagging and growth defects, early diagnosis and treatment is needed. If you do not come to the clinic after the first examination is normal, after a few years, the bone age is significantly over the age and the problem then expands. Rumor three children to grow body is not the most important is nutrition and exercise!
Truth: Nowadays, children are under a lot of pressure to study, often do not eat breakfast, exercise unreasonable and other factors that lead to children’s height is not ideal. In addition to improving the nutritional status, the child’s sleep status is also a vital part. If the child is a long-term lack of sleep, even a reasonable exercise will be ineffective due to fatigue and other reasons, also known as ineffective exercise. The good biological clock is disrupted, and the pattern and effect of endocrine hormone secretion are not in the normal trajectory, thus affecting growth and development.
