Abstract

In recent years,the children′s growth retardation rate has been decreased worldwide,but the regional difference is still prominent. The growth retardation rate of children in poor areas of China is still almost 10%. Growth retardation has an impact on children′s physical growth,cognitive development,increases the risk of chronic diseases,decreases their income level in adulthood,and impairs social and economic productivity. The infant and toddler stage is the most prone ages of growth retardation,and also the key window period of intervention for growth retardation. So this review focuses on this stage,analyzes the causes,prevention and intervention methods and common clinical problems of growth retardation in this stage,in order to contribute to the understanding,prevention and intervention of growth retardation.

Key words
