Signs of girls not growing taller

Many female friends are not very satisfied with their height and think that they are too short, which will affect their body proportions. In fact, the reason why they do not grow tall is related to their development. It is because they had developmental delays when they were young. In this case, they can only adopt some methods that combine diet and exercise to make their height development better.

1. Physical development is delayed;

2. Motor development is delayed;

3. Language development is delayed;

4. Intellectual development is backward;

5. Psychological development is delayed, etc.

The manifestations of growth retardation are often multifaceted, mostly physical development, motor development and intellectual development, but one aspect may be prominent. If the measured values ​​of height, weight and head circumference are all low, it means that the child has a comprehensive developmental delay and you should consult a pediatrician in detail to confirm whether further examination is needed. If only one of the indicators of height, weight or head circumference is low, it means that the child may have partial developmental delay. Further examination of brain nerves or endocrine system etc. may be required to understand whether the child's physical development has been affected.

(1) Developmental level: The measured value (cross-sectional measurement) of a physical growth indicator obtained at a certain age is compared with the value of a reference population to obtain the child's position in the homogeneous population, that is, the growth level of the child's physical growth indicator at this age. The result is usually expressed as a grade. Growth level includes all individual physical growth indicators, such as weight, height (length), head circumference, chest circumference, upper arm circumference, etc., which can be used to evaluate individual or group children.

Some single measurements, such as bone age, represent developmental maturity and also reflect developmental level. Likewise, physical measurements can be used to represent developmental level or maturity based on age. For example, if a 2-year-old boy is 76cm tall, his height growth level is poor, and his height growth age is equivalent to that of a 1-year-old.

(2) Growth rate refers to the regular and continuous measurement (longitudinal observation) of a single physical growth indicator. The growth value of the indicator at a certain age stage is compared with the value of the reference population to obtain the growth rate of the child's physical growth indicator. The simplest and most intuitive way to express growth rate is by using a growth curve. Regular physical examinations are the key to evaluating growth rate. Children are young and grow quickly, so the intervals between regular check-ups should not be too long. The evaluation of growth rate can provide a more accurate understanding of children's growth status than the developmental level. Children with a normal growth rate have basically normal growth.

Symmetry is an evaluation of the relationship between physical growth indicators. ① Body symmetry refers to the proportional relationship of body (morphology) growth. In actual work, weight relative to height is often used to indicate the corresponding weight growth range for a certain height, which indirectly reflects the density and fullness of the body. Actual measurements are compared with values ​​from a reference population, and the results are often expressed as a grade. ② The ratio of sitting height (top-to-hip height)/stature (length) reflects the growth status of the lower limbs. Compare the actual measurement results with those calculated from the reference population. The results are expressed as symmetrical or asymmetrical.
