Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the effects of growth hormone (GH) use on height outcomes in pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
- It reviewed medical records of children aged 0-21 who underwent at least one year of GH treatment, analyzing demographics and growth metrics over time.
- Results showed significant improvements in height z-scores after one year of GH therapy, indicating that GH may be beneficial for enhancing growth in these patients.
Context: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is associated with an increased fracture risk across the life course. The effects on bone accrual early in the disease are unknown.
Objective: To characterize changes in bone density and structure over the year following diagnosis of T1D and to identify contributors to impaired bone accrual.
Background And Objectives: New US Down syndrome (DS) BMI growth charts were recently published, but their utility in identifying children with excess adiposity or increased cardiometabolic risk (CMR) remains unknown. We sought to compare the ability of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) BMI 85th percentile and DS-specific BMI 85th percentile to identify excess adiposity in children with DS.
Methods: Participants with DS aged 10 to 20 years were enrolled in a cross-sectional CMR study.
Background: The relationship of lipoprotein particle subclasses to visceral adipose tissue area (VAT-area) in obese children has not been examined previously.
Objectives: The study aims were to compare the relationships of VAT-area, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and body mass index (BMI) with lipids and lipoprotein subclasses in obese adolescents and to determine whether these relationships vary by sex.
Methods: This cross-sectional study of obese adolescents (BMI ≥ 95th percentile), aged 12 to 18 years, measured VAT-area by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, BMI, fasting lipids, lipoprotein subclasses, and HOMA-IR.
