Endocrinology-Diabetes|Endocrinology,Diabetes&MetabolismPediatricianI believe nutrition affects height in childhood as protein intake is most important. At this age, if there are no other medical or endocrine factors, he may be a candidate for Human Growth Hormone treatment. Please discuss with your physician.
