7 REASONS FOR SLOW GROWTH OF HEIGHT IN CHILDREN
7 REASONS FOR SLOW GROWTH OF HEIGHT IN CHILDREN
❓ A height delay is when a child is shorter than the standard height for their age. So what is the reason?
1️⃣ Heredity
In Vietnam and Asian countries, genetics influence 60% of the height growth of the body. Children who inherit the low gene will not be too prominent when growing up.
2️⃣ Children with chronic diseases
Children with chronic diseases affecting the heart, liver, lungs, etc. can slow down the growth process.
3️⃣ Anemia
Anemia makes children anorexic, malnourished, reduces intelligence, limits motor functions, etc., delays or stops growth in height and weight.
4️⃣ Growth hormone deficiency
Decreased activity of the pituitary gland, thyroid gland or inappropriate sleep time negatively affects the production of growth hormones GH (Growth Hormone) and IGF-I (Insulin – like Growth Factor 1) – two important factors in bone formation and growth.
5️⃣ Early puberty
During the early puberty, hormones trigger bone growth, causing a child to grow very quickly, but then the ends of the bones quickly close, preventing the child from continuing to grow.
Many children with early puberty are not as tall as their peers.
6️⃣ Nutrition
Nutrition plays an important role in the growth of children’s height after genetics. Minerals such as protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin D3, vitamin A, zinc … are the activating factors, supporting the executive functions and metabolism in the body.
Malnourished children will lead to stunting, a weakened immune system, poor concentration, etc. Therefore, parents need to develop a scientific and nutritionally diverse diet menu for their children every day.
7️⃣ Unhealthy Habits
Regularly feeding children sweets, drinking carbonated water, going to bed late, etc. increases the excretion of minerals, especially calcium, out of the body, and at the same time affects the regulation process. Growth hormone makes children grow slowly.
Limiting unhealthy habits is necessary for young children’s adulthood.
Here are the things parents need to keep in mind if they want their children to grow taller!!
