After having a baby, the parents' biggest wish is to hope that the baby can grow healthily and grow tall. But many times, genes also determine the height of the child, which requires the efforts of the day after tomorrow. How to prevent the child from being short?
1、 Know "short"
Some tall parents often don't worry about their children's short stature. They think that their genetic genes are good, and they will grow taller. But when their children don't grow up, they often miss the best treatment time. So, how is short?
Experts from the MCH hospital told us that there is a calculation method: those who are shorter than the average value of 2 standard deviations (- 2sd) of healthy children of the same age, same sex, the same region and the same race or who are below the 300th percentile (P3). Generally speaking, 100 children of the same sex and the same age line up, and the top three children may be short. If the growth speed is not enough, it should be warned: 7cm / year for 2-year-old children, 5cm / year for 4-year-old children and 6cm / year for adolescent children.
Parents of 2-12-year-old children can also roughly judge the height of their children according to the following formula, that is, age × 7 + 70cm. Below this standard 5-7 cm should be alert to dwarfism.
2、 What causes shortness?
Experts said that "there are many reasons for children's short growth. The common causes of short stature include family short stature, physical delay in development, growth hormone deficiency, congenital ovarian dysfunction, hypothyroidism, intrauterine growth retardation, cartilage hypoplasia, etc."
In addition, some external causes are also affecting children's "growth and development". These external causes include nutritional imbalance, lack of sleep and environmental pollution. "From the point of view of the short children, many children are fond of foreign fast food, soda and other foods, and the lack of dairy products intake, to a certain extent, leads to the early development of children, especially early puberty, and at the same time, promotes the bone development prematurely, leading to the early closure of the bone before the growth and development period, and no longer growing. In addition, many children's schoolwork pressure is big, usually insufficient, also has the influence to the height 3、 Six Secrets to prevent dwarfism
To prevent dwarfism, KK health has given the following six suggestions. Parents should learn quickly:
1. Pay attention to nutrition improvement
Unbalanced diet and malnutrition are also important factors for short stature of children. Strengthen and improve the nutritional status of children to provide a good nutritional basis for their growth and development.
2. Constantly monitor the height of children
Parents can monitor children's height effectively, record their height in growth and development in time, and analyze them. If the growth is delayed and the stature is short, we should focus on observation.
3. Pay attention to children's emotional ups and downs
Excessive depression and anxiety will affect the secretion of growth hormone, so pay attention to children's emotional ups and downs, keep them calm, happy mood helps to promote the secretion of growth hormone.
4. Pay attention to children's endocrine hormones
Growth hormone and hypothyroidism are the common causes of dwarfism, so it is necessary to pay attention to the normal secretion of growth hormone and thyroid hormone in the proper physical examination of children's growth stage. If abnormal secretion is found, it can be corrected in time under the guidance of doctors.
5. Strengthen sports
Exercise can promote the secretion of growth hormone. The research shows that the secretion of growth hormone is twice as much as that of quiet when the exercise lasts for 60 minutes with moderate intensity. However, after proper physical exercise in the daytime, the secretion of growth hormone will increase correspondingly at night. Reasonable exercise can also improve the blood supply of epiphyseal chondrocytes, so as to improve the proliferation of epiphyseal cartilage. Appropriate intensity of exercise can increase the stimulation of epiphyseal cartilage, which is often squeezed and rubbed, which can accelerate the proliferation of bone cells and promote the growth of epiphyseal.
6. Ensure adequacy
In the state, the secretion of growth hormone is about three times of that in the state of awake.
Baobaochang's body is a great knowledge. In many cases, the height of a child is a postnatal problem. It needs the efforts of the day after tomorrow to grow the body. We need to let the child do more sports and take part in more physical exercises. In this way, the child can grow up to a very tall height, and parents need to make more efforts.
