Question
Five-year-old twin male infants, born at seven months’ gestation, with a height of 96 centimeters and a weight of 15 kilograms. Although they have a good constitution and rarely fall ill, their height growth is slow. What projects should be checked?
Answer
Offer a bone age test and check for trace elements, particularly calcium and zinc content. It is recommended to increase the intake of calcium-rich foods, consume more fresh fruits and vegetables, and engage in more outdoor activities. Considering the factor of malnutrition, it is suggested to conduct trace element and growth development tests, and growth hormone tests if necessary.
