What is the normal height for a twelve year old?

People attach great importance to height, especially in the developmental stage of children, as it is the basis of basic body shape in adulthood. Therefore, parents really want to know whether their children's height is normal. For example, what is the normal height of a twelve-year-old child? Let's take a look at the explanation below. I hope parents can understand it, find out the deficiencies and solve them, etc.

Short stature is one of the main diseases that plague the physical and mental development of adolescents. What parents are most concerned about are whether their children are healthy, whether they are developing well, how tall they can grow, etc. According to research, 50-60% of patients with short stature are caused by growth hormone deficiency. At the same time, thyroid hormones, gonadal hormones, etc. also seriously affect height growth. Parents’ concern is the driving force and direction of our work. Let us pay attention to the growth experience of our young friends.

(1) Genetic factors from parents. Genetic factors have a great influence on growth and development, but they are not unchangeable.

(2) The influence of diseases, such as liver and kidney dysfunction, will affect the conversion of growth hormone into growth hormone mediators, affecting the regrowth of height.

(3) The child’s own physical condition leads to malnutrition and affects development. The functions of endocrine glands are particularly important, such as growth hormone and thyroxine.

(4) Psychological factors, such as being frightened, excessive psychological pressure, and anxiety, will affect the function of the anterior pituitary gland and reduce the secretion of growth hormone.

(1) Do not drink tea. Tea will affect the absorption of iron and calcium in foods such as milk and vegetables, causing a deficiency of the corresponding elements.

(2) It is not advisable to drink fruit juice. Because fruit juice is artificially formulated, it contains not only sugar and citric acid, but also saccharin and pigments.

(3) Avoid consuming too much cold drinks. Drinking cold drinks can easily cause gastrointestinal dysfunction, leading to enteritis, diarrhea, indigestion, and affect appetite.

(4) Food should not be too salty. Too salty food destroys appetite, irritates mucous membranes, and can also cause diseases such as high blood pressure in children.

(5) Eat less sweets. Eating too much sweets will affect appetite and lead to picky eating and anorexia. It will also affect the body's absorption and utilization of trace elements and B vitamins such as manganese, zinc, chromium, etc., reduce disease resistance, and affect growth and development.
