What is preventive pediatric endocrinological examination? When should parents consult a pediatric endocrinologist, and how important is it to visit a doctor of this specialty early?
What is behind the increase in the number of children with obesity and type 2 diabetes in recent years, and how can these two epidemics be addressed?
The answers are provided by Dimitris Papadimitriou, pediatric endocrinologist and associate professor at the Department of Medicine at the University of Thessaly, who explains what “growth rate” means, what “growth curves” are, and in which cases an X-ray of bone age is necessary.
