Question:
What is dgs?
Answers:
Delayed Growth Syndrome.
Delayed growth involves poor or abnormally slow gain in weight or height, or both, in a child younger than 5 years old.
Constitutional growth delay: Also called delayed puberty, children with constitutional growth delay have a normal birth weight, and their growth slows, usually during the first year of life. From about age 3 to puberty, these children have an adequate growth velocity. Bone age is usually delayed, and puberty is late. Late puberty allows for more prepubertal growth, usually resulting in a normal adult height. Usually, children with constitutional growth delay do not show growth failure, but a period of slow growth velocity occurs during the first year of life and just before puberty.
