Growth and Development: Regular Measurement Is the Foundation

Growth measurement, vitamin D and anaemia in Mongolian children, and tips to support growth.

Whether a child is growing well cannot be judged by eye alone — it takes measurements of height, weight and head circumference. Regular monitoring allows many conditions to be found early.

What is specific to Mongolian children

National surveys show that about 90% of young children in Mongolia are vitamin D deficient and 26.6% have anaemia. Long winters with little sun deepen vitamin D deficiency, so replacing it on a clinician’s advice matters.

Supporting growth

  • A balanced diet with protein, iron, calcium, fruit and vegetables.
  • Vitamin D at the dose advised by a clinician, and iron when needed.
  • Age-appropriate sleep and daily active movement.
  • Measure height and weight regularly and track the growth curve.
How LULU helps: using the Inbody 380 and evidence-based assessment we evaluate growth, physical development and puberty, and monitor with preventive check-ups for vitamin D and anaemia.
