Parents Guide Six elements affect the baby's height

Baby after birth, parents worry about basic necessities in addition, your baby is healthy, many parents are eager to know the baby can grow as tall then? The following experts from the health of children to tell their parents, the impact of the six babies height factor.

How to predict the baby's adult height

Boy: the mother's height plus 12 cm, father's height remains the same, for example, a boy's mother, height 160 cm, 188 centimeters tall and his father, then he will more likely height of 172 cm to 188 cm between.

Girls: From the father's height minus 12 cm in the mother's height remain unchanged. Or the above example, if a girl, her height is likely to between 160 cm to 175 cm. Medical research shows that 80% of the growth hormone is produced during sleep.

To the age of three, usually, your child's height should have been achieved his final adult height by half.

How long baby high?

The human body from birth about 50 cm grow to 180 cm, is actually a continuous cell division and proliferation and nutrient metabolism process. Human long high, the results of long bones. Bone cells from a change two, two become four, four become eight, ever split growth, leading to bone growth. This process, medically known as cell proliferation. The growth rate of the human body depends on the speed of cell proliferation. Scientists have discovered that the speed of cell proliferation and growth are closely related to IL. Pituitary gland secretion of the growth of IL-The more the faster cell proliferation. The human body at different times of growth and secretion of IL-different, different growth rate is not surprising.

The factors that affect the baby's height what?

A key factor: the core nutrition, lack of impact of the child height

If we say that the Chinese children than Japanese children grow tall dwarf, probably people would not believe, however, researchers, statistics show that China's 7-year-old boys and girls respectively, compared with the average height of 0.6 centimeters shorter Japanese children the same age and 0.5 cm, 15 ~ 18-year-old girls and boys the same age who were on average shorter than in Japan l.4 cm and 0.6 cm.

What is the reason for this difference? Genetic factors that determine height only one-third of acquired two-thirds of the environmental conditions. In the acquired conditions, lysine, zinc, calcium core nutrition is the most critical. In 1998, according to the State Sports General Administration (formerly the National Sports Committee) "China's adult physical monitoring report," over my 40-year-old men than Japanese men, age average height of 1.2 cm height, 39-year-old man was under less than their male counterparts in Japan 0.68 cm, the Chinese people over the age of 40 has become the height advantage of the past. The fourth national nutrition survey showed that Chinese baby lysine, zinc, calcium intake of the core nutrition, serious shortage.

Involved in the core nutrition, baby growth: lysine is the growth and secretion of IL-very effective accelerator.


At home and abroad a large number of experiments show that the human body get enough lysine can stimulate the growth of the pituitary gland to increase secretion of IL. These studies also measured the bone growth-related indicators of biological molecules, such as the ALP (bone ALP), IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor), TGF-b (transforming growth factor), OC (osteocalin osteocalcin), NO (nitricoxide nitric oxide), which are manufactured by bone cells, the activity of factors secreted under the effect of the lysine were significantly increased. Description lysine are activated to stimulate bone cell proliferation and functional activity of its role.

Zinc directly involved in DNA replication: Zinc and DNA replication studies have shown that; in the case of zinc deficiency, per unit time rate of DNA replication markedly slowed, DNA synthesis is also significantly reduced, so that cell division to slow down or stagnation. The cellular and molecular mechanism of zinc in expounded finally reveals why the growth and development of zinc deficiency will lead to a standstill secret.

Is about the human body there is a calcium 1300g, in 99% of these calcium and bone and teeth in existence. Therefore, calcium is not only the main function of teeth, bone composition, but also the body's storehouse of calcium. Bones can be hard, tall and straight, can not leave the role of calcium in bio-mineralization. Can imagine, calcium deficiency of the bones soften deformed child grows up on the irrelevant.

Two elements: the health and overall

The importance of nutrition beyond doubt, if the children are growing up without a comprehensive and balanced nutritional supply, in other words, if his food intake is not healthy, comprehensive, and that he would not get the normal growth and development. To achieve this, in fact very difficult, because parents who can not, as a nutritionist, as set standards for children's nutritional recipes, but it should be noted that the parents provide food for their children should at least be healthy.

The problem is usually exposed, parents in order to prevent their children into a "Pan Duner" and restrict his food intake (baby no matter how fat restricted diet should not be used). Also, too much fruit juice or carbonated beverages will also interfere with the child's appetite, thereby reducing his nutrient absorption.

Two key factors: the lack of maternal influence baby's height

Some experts found that emotional disorders also can affect the height. If a child grew up in the absence of warmth of a family environment, inadequate access to maternal love, his height often than the same age children, short stature, short stature abroad, any such person for the interdiction of emotions too short stature syndrome, and some information that them as "Love interdiction syndrome." Trip too short of stature affective disorder occurs mainly because the hypothalamus, pituitary system function by emotional suppression, thus causing reduction in pituitary growth hormone secretion. In addition to such children shorter height, there are mental development later, polydipsia, food, unique language, hyperactivity, interpersonal coordination and other abnormal behavior. Emotional Trip of children generally sleep is not practical, the lack of a sense of security, sometimes in a dream , these situations will affect the quality of sleep. The child's growth hormone - hormone only in the deep sleep period and sleep period before they are secreted strong, so that the disturbed sleep, easily awakened the children, such growth hormone secretion may be greatly inhibited, which is a child in One important reason is not high.

Three key factors: late at night would affect the baby's height

In recent years, a large number of studies have confirmed that: the children of sub-dwarf growth hormone secreted by the amount of less than normal children, but also a considerable number of the child is due to insufficient sleep at night. As the child from early childhood to youth, strong secretion during sleep, at 9 pm to 9 am the next day by the secretion of growth hormone is the number of 12-hour day and three times, especially at 21:00 to fall asleep 70 minutes after the , there may be a secretion peak. In view of this, children do not stay up all night.

Four key factors: premature baby affect the height of

A child sexual precocity, parents should be early detection, early with children to a regular hospital for specialist treatment. A time when summer vacation, the number of hospital outpatients, reaching three times more than usual. Increasing living standards, cities continue to early child development, age, if the bone age is too far ahead of final height will affect the child to alert parents concerned. A mother with a 9-year-old daughter's treatment, her mother said her daughter at 8 years old, began to develop breasts, a year later, his daughter menarche, only to the hospital. The results, doctors found that bone age, 13-year-old girl. Doctors analysts say, because the time delay of treatment for one year, while the bone age during the year long time, far more than one-year-old girl and then a high rate of long-no more than 10 cm, therefore, 9-year-old baby is now 140 cm, final height over 150 cm is unlikely.

5 key factors: physical conditions: the same time, but also beware of the side effects of drugs

Some children at birth that is associated with a serious physical illness, if did not receive timely treatment, which will impede the growth and development. The most common are: gastrointestinal system disorders, such as celiac disease; food allergy; thyroid problems; hormone deficiency; heart, kidney or liver disease; or some other chromosomal abnormalities. Also, the point guard of certain drugs in the treatment of diseases in the process of side-effects, may also discourage development, such as Ritalin and other irritating substances in the treatment of ADHD in the process, has been found to impact on development. So, if you need to take a particular drug, must be careful selection of prescriptions and drug levels.

Key factors 6: Genetic absolute right to have an impact on height
While humans still can not understand the genetic secrets, but in height this point, genetic with the "absolute rights." The child's family history is the impact on his adult height elements of the NO.1. Look at the parents, height, size, assess the child's growth and development of the situation, probably will be able to know his height of an adult.
