What are the reference values for trace elements in children?

Patient's question:

Is it normal for children to have these issues? What are the normal levels of calcium, iron, and zinc microelements? They often have poor appetite and picky eating, are hyperactive, and don't take things seriously. They also sleep on their stomach.

Doctor's answer:

Trace elements play a very important role in the human body. For children, if there is a deficiency of trace elements, it may affect their growth and development. There are various methods for detecting trace elements, such as venous blood tests, peripheral blood tests, and hair collection. The normal values in the laboratory also vary depending on the testing method. Each test result is followed by a normal reference range, which can be used for judgment based on this value.
