These indicators can be measured by certain scales and methods. From the measured data, we can judge whether children's growth and development conform to the general laws and find individual differences, so as to further study and find out the factors of differences and continuously improve children's health.
Extended data:
Nutrition is the material basis to ensure children's normal growth and development and physical and mental health. The demand for nutrients in childhood is higher than that in adulthood. This is because two requirements must be met, namely, the needs of growth, development and activities. In particular, infants and young children grow fastest and need a lot of nutrients such as protein, so we must pay attention to it.
After weaning, children need a balanced diet and eat as many kinds of foods as possible to ensure the needs of calories and nutrients and maintain the balance between nutrients, so as to avoid malnutrition or overnutrition caused by nutrient deficiency and affect the normal growth and development of children. Therefore, it is very important to cultivate children's good eating habits from an early age, not picky eaters and not eating snacks indiscriminately.
In addition, in addition to maintaining children's good appetite, it is also necessary to cultivate children's regular life, get enough sleep, and often participate in outdoor activities, which will help prevent diseases, promote the digestion and absorption of ingested nutrients, and make children grow up healthily.
