Question

Genetic inheritance from grandparents, congenital deficiencies, and a lack of growth hormones within the body are all possible causes.

Answer

  1. Genetic inheritance factors: If the parents are short and there is no scientific training or treatment, the children’s height may also be shorter.
  2. Congenital deficiencies: Such as intrauterine growth retardation, low birth weight, short stature at birth, and subsequent malnutrition may cause the child’s growth to lag behind their peers, leading to dwarfism.
  3. Dwarfism due to a lack of growth hormones in the body: If there is brain hypoxia at birth, such as malpresentation or umbilical cord entanglement, there may be a problem with insufficient growth hormone after birth, leading to slower growth than their peers.
