- Children born small for gestational age (SGA) are at greater risk for metabolic disorders later in life, and this study focused on SGA children without catch-up growth and the effects of growth hormone (GH) treatment over one year.* -
- The study included 26 SGA children and 26 control children, assessing various health parameters at multiple points after starting GH treatment, which resulted in a moderate increase in height and changes in blood markers.* -
- The findings suggest that GH treatment may help improve certain metabolic indicators in SGA children, particularly with changes in serum apolipoproteins, indicating a potential reduction in cardiometabolic risk.*
