Question

What is the normal standard for growth hormones in a 3-year-old child?

Answer

The growth hormone (HGH) level in a 3-year-old child is typically below 20 micrograms per liter. As long as the child’s height is comparable to that of their peers, it is generally considered normal. Children should maintain good quality deep sleep, which is very helpful for the production of growth hormones. Additionally, regular physical exercise can help with growth. The main physiological effect of growth hormone is to promote the synthesis of various tissues in the human body, particularly proteins, and to enhance the growth of bones and cartilage, thereby leading to an increase in height. If growth hormone is lacking, a child’s growth may be hindered.
