At 4.8 yrs months BOY/ Girl child of 97 cm, HIS/her height is like 3.6 year AGE NORMAL CHILDS HEIGHT but weight of 13 kgs is ilke weight of 2 yrs normal child weight
so inference is... his weight is far low and if weight increases height aslo increases.
take measures to increase weight like dietary advice.
Height depends on many factors like Nutrition, Environmental ( birth weight, mother's health status and built) Genetic factors( parents height and their genetic potential)
A person with short stature simply means he or she has not grown as tall as other people their age and sex.
While short stature is somewhat subjective, itâs typically defined as a person growing below the third percentile(as per growth charts).
The reality is we come in a wide-variety of shapes and sizes and there are going to be short kids.
Just because a child is significantly shorter than their classmates, doesnât mean the child isnât healthy. Some parents tend to think their child is short and not growing at all.
Most times, thatâs not the case. One of the first things I ask parents is if their child is consistently outgrowing clothes and shoes.
1) Is the childâs pants getting shorter from spring to fall?
2)Do you need to buy new shoes at the beginning of each school year?
If the answer is yes, then most likely the child is growing normally. If a child is wearing the same clothes year-after-year and new clothes are only needed to replace old worn out clothes, then thatâs a different scenario
Next Steps
use WHO GROWTH charts and or Anthrocal app( application) to monitor growth and consult PEDIATRIC ENDOCRINOLOGIST or pediatrician
