Patient's question:
The child has been relatively frail since birth and has frequently been ill. What factors affect the growth and development of young children?Doctor's answer:
The transmission factors have a certain impact on the growth and development of children. For example, parents' height, skin color, amount and morphology of hair, etc., all have a certain degree of influence on their children. Children who do not receive affection may have lower average height than their peers because their body produces less growth hormone. Nutrition is crucial for growth and development. Infants and young children need a reasonable dietary structure; otherwise, it not only affects normal development but also impacts future intelligence.
