Bone development slows with age—the older a person is, the slower their skeletal development becomes. Chronic malnutrition, lack of physical activity, or underlying medical conditions such as diabetes can also impair bone development. Infections that persist without effective treatment may likewise affect skeletal growth. Other factors influencing bone development include fractures. It is important to visit a正规 hospital to determine the exact cause.
