Question
A 13-year-old girl stands at 1.40 centimeters tall, with an approximate growth of 10 centimeters over the past two years. She had a normal check-up in Taiyuan. She inquires whether her height falls within the category of dwarfism.
Answer
There are many factors that affect growth, including nutrition, genetics, and growth hormones. The growth rate and overall height of the girl should be compared with peers of the same age, and family genetics should also be considered. The current information is insufficient to determine if she has dwarfism, and it is recommended to undergo further examination to identify the cause.
