Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Ma Yan
Children's short stature and delayed growth may be caused by poor lifestyle habits, such as frequent late nights and insufficient sleep. It could also result from improper eating habits, including irregular meal times and malnutrition. Additionally, certain gastrointestinal diseases or calcium deficiency in children can also lead to delayed height development.
