Children with short stature are mainly divided into two types: non-disease and disease.
Common non-disease dwarfism includes familial dwarfism and physical retardation, etc. Their common characteristics are: they are shorter at birth, but the growth rate is normal after birth, and their height is always lower than normal. The best way to promote the growth of such children is to enhance nutrition, strengthen exercise, ensure sleep and prevent and control diseases. Adequate nutrition is an important material basis for growth, as protein, calcium, zinc and other elements are important cellular components of the human body; longitudinal exercise, especially long-term exercise, can promote the body’s own secretion of more growth hormone, which helps to grow taller; sufficient sleep can also make more growth hormone secretion, because growth hormone is pulsed secretion, the peak secretion often occurs at night during deep sleep.
