Abstract:
With the rapid dissemination of information in modern society, Chinese residents pay more attention to the scientific concept of childcare, which makes the child prevention and health care industry develop rapidly. The law of children's growth and development is extremely complex, so it is necessary to detect different biomarkers according to different growth and development evaluation angles. Human growth hormone(hGH), insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1), insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3(IGFBP-3), thyroid hormone, sex hormone, anti-müllerian hormone(AMH) and 25-hydroxy vitamin D(25-OH VD) are common biomarkers to monitor children's growth and development. This article aims to explain the concept and characteristics of common biomarkers of growth and development, summarize the detection methods of common biomarkers of growth and development evaluation developed in recent years, and provide a reference for children's prevention and health care to select appropriate detection biomarkers.
