Patient's question:
At the age of eleven, a height of 1.35 meters is considered dwarfism?Doctor's answer:
The development of children's height and weight is affected by multiple factors. Most cases of slow growth are due to non-disease factors, such as nutritional status and exercise conditions. However, a small minority are indeed caused by certain diseases that affect growth and development, such as growth hormone deficiency, hypothyroidism, achondroplasia, severe rickets, chromosomal diseases, and hereditary diseases, among others.
