**Pediatric Endocrine Diseases: Common Problems and Conditions in Children**

  • Childhood Obesity and Diabetes
  • Precocious Puberty (Early Puberty)
  • Short Stature

Nowadays, it is found that children are entering puberty earlier than normal, which is a major cause of short stature in adulthood. This occurs because the growth plates close prematurely, causing height growth to stop sooner than expected. Studies suggest that this is caused by multiple factors, including genetics, low birth weight, and changing lifestyles where childhood obesity is more prevalent than in the past. Additionally, consuming foods containing hormones or chemical additives can also act as a trigger for this condition. If children receive a medical evaluation before the age of 8–9, it can help mitigate or delay these issues.
