Aug 19, 2024

Park Hye-young, chairman of the Bareun Growth Clinic at Himchan General Hospital in Incheon, presented a clear solution to the story of a low-rise child who is troubled by the shortest height in the class on TV Chosun 'Kidentime 2' aired on the 17th.

The story of Kim Ji-yu (9) who dreams of becoming an idol was introduced. Kim Ji-yu was the shortest in her class and was in a state of contraction, and she was living an uncomfortable life, being afraid of not being able to reach her feet when learning how to swim. In addition, compared to being very active, he was very picky, such as rarely eating meals and liking sweet snacks.

Kim Ji-yu is currently 118cm tall, 9-10cm shorter than her peers. As a result of conducting psychological counseling, he was psychologically withdrawn, such as playing separately with small friends similar to him in a quiet place. Kim Ji-yu's height is the lower 2nd percentile of the same age, and her bone age is also young, so medical tests were conducted to determine the cause of hyponephaly. Two growth hormone stimulation tests were used to induce growth hormones and check whether hormones were secreted well. It is normal to have a maximum growth hormone of more than 10, but growth hormone deficiency was diagnosed as a result of lack of both Eldopa and Arginine tests.

A conference of medical staff at Incheon Himchan General Hospital discussed ways to maximize the height growth effect of children who lack growth hormones and are active. In particular, it was found that Kim Ji-yu is affected by growth and development because she consumes more energy than eating.

As a result, picky eating or news interferes with growth during the growth period, suggesting ways to eat well, reduce your activity, and get enough rest, while introducing 'Food Bridge' method to break the habit of being picky eaters, and tips for improving the eating habits of children who do not eat vegetables were also released. Food Bridge is a method of correcting unbalanced eating by increasing the frequency and intensity of exposure step by step using the same ingredients for children who have a picky eating habit.

Park Hye-young, chairman of the Bareun Growth Clinic at Himchan General Hospital in Incheon, said "Kim Ji-yu is about 1 year and 9 months younger than her calendar age, so it is expected that the results will be good if she supplements growth hormones through injection treatment."Since nutrition is very important during the growing season, it will be more helpful if you increase the amount you eat and correct your lifestyle, such as proper exercise," he said.
