Generally, adults who are less than 1.3 meters tall are diagnosed with dwarfism. This condition is usually caused by intergenerational inheritance and may be related to the individual's physical constitution. It could be a manifestation of poor nutrition supplementation and absorption, or a result of a lack of growth hormone. It is necessary to consult a doctor for examination to confirm the specific condition before implementing any dietary adjustments.Later on, you can enhance nutrition, supplement the necessary nutrients, strengthen exercise, and participate in targeted activities, which will help with physical growth and development.
