Is it normal for a 9-year-old to be 1.35 meters tall and weigh 35 kilograms?

Patient's question:

My son is nine years old, 1.35 meters tall, and weighs 35 kilograms. Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

Short stature is related to factors such as genetics, nutrition, diseases, exercise, sleep, chromosomes, thyroid function, and the level of growth hormone in the body. It is recommended to take the child to a local larger hospital's pediatric growth and development department or pediatric endocrinology department for examination to identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. Child health issues have always troubled parents. When treating this condition, consider adopting general treatment methods. Only by using standardized methods can family members help children recover from the disease as soon as possible, without affecting their growth and development. Therefore, it is hoped that after a child's illness occurs, parents will help them recover from the condition as soon as possible.
