Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Children over half a year old should have normal height as follows: At one year of age, height equals birth height plus 25 centimeters; at two years of age, height equals one year of age height plus 10 centimeters; and from 2 to 12 years of age, height equals the number of years multiplied by 5 plus 75 centimeters. Children's growth rates vary, with some growing faster or slower, and both early fast growth followed by slow growth or early slow growth followed by fast growth are normal. It is important to carefully distinguish whether a slow growth rate is pathological. For children over two years of age, an average growth rate of less than 5 centimeters per year indicates slow growth and requires timely medical treatment.
