Does the short hands of premature infants affect their height in the future?

Patient's question:

Does the short hands of premature infants affect their height after growing up?

Doctor's answer:

The brain development of most children occurs within the first one or two years after birth. If they receive adequate nutrition and appropriate supplementation of trace elements during this period, it will not affect their intelligence. However, if a child is prematurely born or has congenital developmental issues and lacks proper supplementation afterward, it can impact their intellectual development. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the child's nutrition.
