Progress on neuropsychological status of the children with short stature / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

The etiology of short stature is multifaceted and influenced by various potential factors including genetics，nutrition，endocrine and psychology. Research has shown that psychological factors can contribute to growth disorders，impacting the behavioral，emotional，and neuropsychological well-being of children with short stature. These growth disorders may lead to language problems，social disorders，etc. Additionally，physical limitations and environmental barriers can pose practical challenges in the daily lives of children with short stature，potentially leading to a decrease in their health-related quality of life（HrQoL）. Moreover，growth disorders can increase parental care burden，further impacting their HrQoL. This article offers a literature review on the challenges faced by children with short stature and the neuropsychological implications of various types of short stature.
