    GlossaryGrowth Retardation

    condition where physical development is significantly slower than average

    Growth Retardation, also known as Stunted Growth or Growth Delay, refers to a condition where an individual's physical development is significantly slower than the average for their age and sex. This can be due to a variety of factors including genetic conditions, chronic illnesses, malnutrition, or hormonal imbalances. In the context of hair, growth retardation can manifest as slower hair growth or thinning, often linked to underlying health issues or nutritional deficiencies.
