Is a height of 145 cm at 12 years old considered dwarfism?

Patient's question:

Is a height of 145 cm at the age of 12 considered dwarfism?

Doctor's answer:

According to normal children's physical development, the estimated normal height formula for your child at 12 years old is 152cm. However, your child's height is only 145cm, which is slightly below normal. It is recommended to visit a formal children's hospital and the pediatric department for a comprehensive examination to identify the cause and then provide targeted treatment. Height growth is significantly influenced by genetics, endocrine factors, and postnatal nutrition. Pay attention to strengthening nutrition, maintaining a balanced diet, and engaging in more physical exercise.
