  • Rast in otrokovo zdravje = Growth and the child's health
    Bratanič, Nina
    Somatic growth is fundamental to childhood, and growth measurements is an accurate and sensitive guide to child health. Normal growth and development are finely regulated through the complex ... interaction of many factors. These include nutrition, genetic, environmental and neuroendocrine factors and emotinal well-being. Measurement of stature requires accuracy in height determination. Measurement of height is used for children less than 2 years old,and standing height is used for older children. For the determination of height velocity serial measurements should be made at the same time of day by the same examiner. An observation period of at least six months is necessary for accurate growth rate determination. Once recorded, a child's height shouldbe plotted carefully on an appropriate growth chart. The 3rd and 97th percentile lines have been conventionally taken as the lower and upper limits of normality. Children growing at the normal rate, that is, at a velocity on line with their population's standard growth curve or approximately parallel with it, are normal children. Deviation from a normal pattern of growth can bethe first manifestation of a wide variety of disease processes that include both endocrine and nonendocrine disorders and can involve any organ system of the body. Therefore, frequent and accurate assessement of growth is of primaryimportance for physicians caring for children and can allow early diagnosis of a pathological disorder impairing growth and its treatment.
