Health-related behaviour and attitudes towards food are formed in childhood. The processes for some adult diseases may start early in life. Growth and development Each year of life from 1 year to adolescence, a child grows taller by 5–8 cm. Girls’ growth spurt begins at 10–11 years. Boys’ growth spurt begins at 12–13 years. About 25% of height is gained in adolescence. This requires increases of energy, protein, and several vitamins and minerals. If energy needs are not met this can result in stunting or delayed growth. Once the growth spurt is over, nutrient requirements become those of adults. During this period there is ↑ muscle growth in boys and adipose fat in girls. Genes have the strongest influence on onset of menarche.
