Park Hye-young, chairman of the Bareun Growth Clinic at Himchan General Hospital in Incheon, will explore the causes and solutions of the sluggish growth of short and small children in TV Chosun 'Kidentime 2' which is scheduled to air on the 28th.

The storyteller, Oain Yang (12), is always tired because she goes to bed late because she studies hard and is busy with academies, ballet, and figure skating. When I am with friends of my age, I cannot see well because I am short, and I am full even if I eat a little, so I am worried about my parents because the amount of food is small.

Currently, Ms. Oain is 140cm tall, shorter than the average of her peers, and the normal weight for her height is about 36kg, but she currently weighs only 28kg. In broadcasting, we look at how small meals and late sleep time affect growth. In addition, various tests such as physical measurement, imaging tests, endocrine tests, hormone tests, and spinal tests are conducted, and solutions for growth are presented.

Park Hye-young, chairman of the Bareun Growth Clinic at Himchan General Hospital in Incheon, said "In the case of children, they naturally enter a period of rapid growth as secondary sexual characteristics begin in a healthy state, but in a malnourished state, secondary sexual characteristics may be delayed, which may affect their height growth."It is important to increase the weight to the appropriate weight so that secondary sexual characteristics can be expressed in a timely manner," he said.

Through the broadcast on the 28th, it solves various questions such as the correlation of growth hormone secretion according to bedtime and sleep quality, the effect of a low-salt diet on growth, the appropriate amount of food needed for growing children, and lifestyle habits that negatively affect growth. In particular, you can also check information on how to prevent body imbalance when you have to do repetitive exercises that are biased toward only one side, such as figure.

In the section to find the joint health and hidden height of adults, Park Gong-im (70, female), who was cleaning up with knee pain to pay for his son's kidney dialysis hospital, will be released on the last broadcast and the story after he regained his knee health. Park was in such a serious situation that his thigh bones and shin bones were dislocated after enduring pain for a long time, delaying surgery for end-stage degenerative arthritis in both knees.

It shows the process of finding hidden keys through artificial joint surgery and rehabilitation of both knees after deciding to operate. In addition, Jin Ho-seon, head of Gangbuk Himchan Hospital, a resident of the hospital, will teach you how to take care of your knees during your daily life and clean up in the future after being discharged from the hospital.
