The 10 -year -old boy developed slowly for 4 years, and it was the culprit to go to sleep on the light?

Recently, a 10 -year -old patient in Zhengzhou, Henan, was only slightly higher than 1.1 meters tall. After inspection, it was found that the child's bone age development was 4 years slower than normal. Parents' influence sleeps late, and even sleeps with lights?

"Sleeping to sleep affects bone age development", so it has become a hot topic of netizens. What impact does this affect children?

"Continue to turn on the lights at night to stimulate the child's brain, it will affect the child's melatonin secretion. If the child sleeps well at night, it may affect the growth hormone. The rhythm will affect the growth of children. "Gu Wei, chief physician of the Department of Endocrinology, Nanjing Children's Hospital, told reporters.

In recent years, with the popularity of smart terminals such as mobile phones and tablets, coupled with the universal phenomenon of school network courses, many children's "screen time" has increased significantly. Affected by factors such as screen fluorescence and night sleep, the growth and development of children are disturbed, and developmental delays or advanced development is a common phenomenon in outpatient clinics.

Experts also said that the factors that affect children's development are more complicated, and the performance of boys and girls is different. Taking biological rhythms as an example, it is also a late sleep, which may be promoting development for girls, but for boys or younger children, it will show slow growth.

"The child's gonad axis is not started. In fact, there are many regulatory factors in it. There are many reasons for the inhibitory hormones. If the melatonin secretion is abnormal and the suppression is reduced, the axis will be active in advance, and the child will perform. Premature, but this is actually two aspects. "Gu Wei, chief physician of the Department of Endocrinology, Nanjing Children's Hospital.

For cases of hot discussions on the Internet, experts believe that this is first of all, and secondly, it is necessary to rule out the possibility of patients with other diseases.

"The change of lifestyle or the impact of the diet, the influence of bone age is one year old, and the bone age is obviously backward. By the level of 4 years, it is not only the relationship between lifestyle or diet. Many are caused by the disease. "Gu Wei, chief physician of the Department of Endocrinology, Nanjing Children's Hospital.
