Height For Age

Idiopathic short stature (ISS) deficiency reflects a major public health issue. In Romania the incidence is 1/3000 - 6000 births, with an increased prevalence in boys. ISS is the condition where the height of a subject is more than -2.5 DS below the height of the population for the population in which it is included, below the mean height for age and sex, but without any nutritional, systemic or chromosomal abnormalities. Significant for children with ISS is that weight is normal at birth and growth hormone levels are normal. This study shows the evolution of the height to normal values specific to the biological age, reaching the normal stature, according to auxological parameters, after growth hormone therapy.
