Summary

Normal growth can be divided into four important phases: prenatal, infantile, childhood and pubertal. Nutrition is important at all phases of growth, but particularly so during the infantile phase because the rate of growth is higher than at any other time of life and is less dependent on growth hormone than during other phases. During the childhood phase, growth becomes more dependent on the GH/insulin-like growth factor-1 axis; growth rate decelerates continuously until the pubertal phase. The pubertal phase results from the coordination of GH and sex steroid production. Together they have an anabolic effect on muscle mass, bone mineralization and body proportions. It is another phase of rapid growth so that nutrition can again modify the genetic growth potential.
