Access Content
One of the major characteristics of children is growth. Each person’s growth is unique, and growth in terms of height, weight, head circumference, etc. differs.
Average height and weight values are determined for each age group. It is important to pay close attention to how much a child has grown, rather than comparing them to the average.
However, if the difference from the average value is too large or the child’s annual growth rate is not good, the underlying disease may be hidden, so it is necessary to consult a specialist.
In this course, we will focus on height growth among children’s development, explain what points to be careful about, and conversely, what things you don’t need to worry about. We will talk about genome testing and treatment that can be done at the hospital.
