Spanish term

retraso pondero-estatural (URGENT)

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Dietetics
Hi. Any doctors out there? I know that this means "failure to thrive" or "lack of growth", etc., but does anyone know the actual medical term used? I've hunted for it, but to no avail.

Many thanks in advance.

Growth failure, or failure to thrive (FTT), is a descriptive term and not a specific diagnosis. This term is widely used to describe inadequate growth in early childhood.
http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/985007-overview

Although the discussion of pediatric growth failure can be traced back over a century in the medical literature, the term failure to thrive (FTT) has only been used in the past several decades. The previously used dichotomy of nonorganic (environmentally related) and organic growth failure is the result of either inadequate calorie absorption, excessive calorie expenditure or inadequate intake of calories.
