Question
Is a height of only 1.35 meters at age 11 considered dwarfism?
Answer
A child’s height and weight development is influenced by various factors, with most cases of slow growth being due to non-disease factors such as nutrition and exercise conditions. However, there are indeed some children who suffer from certain diseases that affect their growth and development, such as growth hormone deficiency, hypothyroidism, skeletal dysplasia, severe curvature of the spine, chromosomal disorders, and genetic diseases.
