Nonorganic failure to thrive (NOFTT) is a significant health problem of infancy. Although NOFTT is thought to be a result of multiple factors, exactly what these factors are is unclear. Explaining the development of NOFTT has been hindered by a lack of a theoretical approach. The purpose of this article is to provide a review of the literature and the discussion of a theoretical framework to guide future research in the area of NOFTT.
非器质性生长发育不良（NOFTT）是婴儿期的一个重要健康问题。尽管人们认为NOFTT是多种因素导致的结果，但这些因素具体是什么尚不清楚。由于缺乏一种理论方法，对NOFTT发展过程的解释一直受到阻碍。本文旨在对相关文献进行综述，并探讨一个理论框架，以指导未来在NOFTT领域的研究。
