What are the symptoms of height retardation

summary

The height of a child is generally something parents are particularly worried about, because growth retardation will have a certain impact on the child's physical and mental health. Many parents supplement the impact to promote development and then grow up. Let's talk about the symptoms of height retardation.

What are the symptoms of height retardation

First, human growth and development refers to the maturation process from fertilized egg to adult. Growth and development are important characteristics of children different from adults. Growth refers to the growth of various organs and systems of children's body, which can be represented by corresponding measurement values; development refers to the differentiation and functional maturity of cells, tissues and organs. Growth and development are closely related. Growth is the material basis of development. The change of growth quantity can reflect the maturity of body organs and systems to a certain extent.

Second: physical development, sports development, language development, intelligence development and psychological development. Growth retardation is often manifested in many aspects, including physical development, motor development and mental retardation. If height, weight, head circumference measurements are all low, it means that the child's development has been a comprehensive delay.

Third: growth retardation (growth retardation) refers to the phenomenon of slowing down or abnormal sequence in the process of growth and development. The incidence rate is between 6% and 8%. In the normal internal and external environment, children can develop normally. If only one of the indicators of height, weight and head circumference is low, it means that the child may have partial growth retardation. Further examination of brain nerve or endocrine and other items can be conducted to understand whether the child's physiological development has been affected.
