2021 Children's Height and Weight Self-Test! Shengyuan Children's Height and Weight Scale Helps Children's Health
Release Time:
2021-01-22
As parents, our first priority is to understand the general laws of children's growth and development. We should regularly measure our children's height and weight, record and save the data, and then compare the recorded data with the growth standards of normal children. This allows us to intuitively sense whether there are any abnormalities in our child's development. The Shengyuan brand children's health check scale can integrally measure children's height and weight, allowing you to more intuitively observe changes in your child's growth and development, and promoting healthy growth in children.
① Growth standards for healthy children and adolescents
In 2019, the Capital Institute of Pediatrics released a percentile table of height and weight for children and adolescents aged 0-18: (Parents can use the table below for self-assessment)
Four major factors affecting children's growth and development
① Genetics:
Boy's height ≈ (Father + Mother) ÷ 2 + 6.5
Girl's height ≈ (Father + Mother) ÷ 2 - 6.5
A child's growth and development characteristics, potential, and trends are all influenced by the genetic factors of both parents, such as the parents' height, skin color, amount of hair, and shape. Experts have conducted studies on monozygotic twins, The difference in height between monozygotic twins is smaller after adulthood, while the difference in weight is larger, indicating that the skeletal system development is greatly influenced by genetic factors.
However, genetics is not the only factor affecting a child's height development.
② Nutrition:
Supplementing nutrition during a child's growth and development is necessary, but the proportion of nutritional intake needs to be appropriate to allow the child's growth potential to be best utilized.
According to data from child nutrition surveys, a rich and balanced diet promotes growth and development; conversely, a nutritionally deficient diet not only affects development but also leads to disease.
Long-term malnutrition affects bone growth, resulting in short stature; overnutrition leads to premature secondary sexual characteristics, accompanied by accelerated bone growth. Although the height is temporarily higher than that of children of the same age, due to premature epiphyseal closure, the time for height growth is shortened, and the adult height will be shorter than normal people.
③ Disease:
The interference of disease on growth and development is very obvious.
Acute infections often cause weight loss, chronic diseases affect weight and height growth; endocrine diseases often cause delayed bone growth and nervous system development; congenital diseases such as trisomy 21, achondroplasia, etc., further affect physical and neuropsychiatric development.
If parents find that their child has related types of diseases, they need to seek medical attention in time and take medical intervention.
④ Living environment:
With the progress of society and the improvement of the quality of life, the quality of the living environment to a certain extent determines the status of children's growth and development.
A good living environment and sanitary conditions, such as sufficient sunlight, fresh air, clean water sources, no noise, and comfortable living conditions, combined with good living habits and physical exercise, can promote growth and development; conversely, it will have adverse effects.

Develop good habits to help children grow
① Maintain good exercise habits:
Studies have shown:
Children who regularly participate in physical exercise are on average 4-8 centimeters taller than their peers who do not exercise.
② Maintain reasonable and correct eating habits:
Balanced nutrition, avoid eating too many high-calorie foods:
During the period of height development, children need to take in a balanced intake of various nutrients, not only calcium supplementation, but also supplementation of trace elements such as copper, manganese, and zinc Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that children eat 25-30 kinds of food every day, which is richer in nutrition than eating only 3-5 kinds of food a day.
In addition to eating fresh fruits and vegetables and supplementing high-quality protein, you should also eat some coarse grains in moderation. Grains are foods with high calcium and vitamin D content, and vitamin D is an important nutrient that promotes calcium absorption. However, in current dietary habits, people tend to eat mainly finely processed foods and rarely eat coarse grains, and this dietary habit will affect calcium intake.
At the same time, it is necessary to avoid children from consuming too many high-calorie foods. High-calorie foods not only lead to obesity but also cause an excess of dietary total protein, leading to calcium loss.
Drink less carbonated drinks:
Carbonated drinks contain carbonic acid, which affects the body's absorption and utilization of calcium, and children's consumption will affect bone growth and development.
At the same time, carbonated drinks are high in calories, and frequent consumption will lead to weight gain and increase the risk of obesity. Moreover, the sugar in carbonated drinks will damage teeth and cause caries.
Carbonated drinks also contain caffeine, which has a nerve-stimulating effect and can also stimulate an accelerated heartbeat. Excessive consumption can also lead to dependence.
③ Maintain sufficient sleep habits:
Studies show that children experience a peak in growth hormone secretion during sleep, and this peak lasts for a relatively long period.
The National Sleep Foundation in the United States once published a standard table for children's sleep duration:
The two time periods when children's growth hormone secretion is highest are: 22:00-1:00, and 5:00-7:00.
If a child is not asleep during these two periods, or if they wake up, then they will have missed the optimal time for growth!
