At the age of three, determines the height of children?

  


From birth to adulthood, height of growth is not uniform, from birth to 2 years old, President of the General height when 28cm, which in 4 months ago, May-December, the complete one-third of the 1~2sui of the 3 age. 2 nutrition on the growth of far before more than genetic factors, more so the younger. After 2 years to adolescence adolescent 2nd uniform long high 5~7cm until a year before accelerating.


In other words, a height of 170cm adults, its height above one-third was born to 2 years grew up in. This situation of different ages have different growth ability is caused by the complex regulation of endocrine disruptors. Before the age of 3 under the influence of harmful factors, such as nutrition, disease or drug, then the height of damage will be permanent.


People equate with short stature and growth hormone low, just like once equal anorexia and zinc deficiency, is a mistake. In fact, more than half are under 3 years of direct and indirect factors causing malnutrition, resulting in growth of damage.


Malnutrition, most is not the lack of sources of nutrition, more is not a reasonable supply of nutrients. Such as \"fine\" fed, that eating meat is hard to digest and take its \"essence\" of broth, gravy. Some people think that high protein nutritional value, and dominated by food such as meat, eggs, milk (not many total), cereals and vegetables to eat very little.


In addition, another important reason is that food intake and a lot, but due to indirect factors, inadequate nutrient uptake and utilization. One common cause for the unreasonable application of antibiotics. Antibiotic control in the sterilization of infectious diseases at the same time, interference of the indirect effects of human metabolism and nutrition absorption and utilization. Common cold cough is common in children, some parents often want to use your medicine to disease sooner. In fact effect and value are not entirely balanced.


Any cause of growth retardation due to malnutrition, the growth hormone secretion in the body of which is increasing, therefore correct the feeding habit and avoid unreasonable indirect impact factors of nutrient absorption, is critical to childhood growth, in a language other than \"increasing drug\" can be corrected.


Do not because of your ignorance, in children before the age of 3 to height \"lost\". Since the loser to complex, prevention is crucial.


First, the only way scientific parenting is child\'s healthy development.


Second, we should go to children\'s health clinic for physical growth assessment on a regular basis, within 4 months to 1 time every 2 months, every 3 months in the age of 6 months to 1 1, 1~3sui 1 time every six months.


Archives of save the children growth, discover the growth of abnormal to be corrected in a timely manner. On the more obvious sustained growth should slow to Pediatric Endocrine specialist checks.
