Diet and retarded growth.

D R Davis, J Apley, G Fill

    British Medical Journal

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Children with growth retardation often have calorie intake deficiencies. Improving diets and family feeding habits can lead to increased height growth rates, with clinical advice potentially playing a role.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Nutrition Science
    • Child Health

    Background:

    • Childhood growth retardation, below the third height centile, can occur without organic disease.
    • Nutritional intake is a critical factor in childhood development and growth.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between dietary intake and growth patterns in children with non-organic growth retardation.
    • To assess the impact of nutritional interventions and changes in family feeding practices on growth velocity.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative study design involving 36 children with growth retardation and a control group.
    • Dietary assessment to evaluate calorie intake deficiencies.
    • Follow-up dietary reassessment after approximately one year.

    Main Results:

    • A significant association was found between retarded growth and long-continued calorie intake deficiency.
    • Dietary reassessment revealed a significant reduction in calorie shortfalls after one year.
    • Improved calorie intake tended to correlate with an increased rate of growth in height.

    Conclusions:

    • Calorie deficiency is a primary factor in non-organic growth retardation in children.
    • Improvements in dietary intake, family circumstances, and feeding habits can facilitate catch-up growth.
    • Clinical guidance may contribute to positive changes in family attitudes and feeding practices, supporting improved child growth.
