PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -For most individuals, though, height is controlled largely by a combination of genetic variants that each have more modest effects on height, plus a smaller contribution from environmental factors (such as nutrition). More than 700 such gene variants have been discovered and many more are expected to be identified.

Detailed explanation-2: -The most important nutrient for final height is protein in childhood. Minerals, in particular calcium, and vitamins A and D also influence height. Because of this, malnutrition in childhood is detrimental to height.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main factor that influences a person’s height is their genetic makeup, or DNA. However, many other factors can influence height during development, including nutrition, hormones, and medical conditions. Scientists believe that DNA is responsible for about 80% of a person’s height.

Detailed explanation-4: -Eat a balanced diet. Use supplements with caution. Get the right amount of sleep. Stay active. Practice good posture. Use yoga to maximize your height.
