Abstract

Infancy, childhood, and adolescence are marked by rapid physical growth and development, and every child’s and adolescent’s health and development depends on good nutrition. Any disruption in appropriate nutrient intake may have lasting effects on growth potential and developmental achievement. Physical growth, developmental requirements, nutrition needs, and feeding patterns vary significantly in each stage of growth and development.
