What is preventive pediatric endocrinological examination? When should parents consult a pediatric endocrinologist, and how important is the timely visit to a doctor in this field? Where does the increase in the number of children with obesity and diabetes, observed in recent years, come from, and how can these two epidemics be addressed?
Dimitris Papadimitriou, pediatric endocrinologist and associate professor at the Department of Medicine at the University of Thessaly, answers these questions in the show “Remarkable Personalities”, hosted by Mina Ralli, this Saturday, December 21.
Dr. Papadimitriou explains what “growth rate” means, what “growth curves” are, and in which cases a bone age X-ray is necessary.
