Impact of growth hormone therapy on bone and body composition in prepubertal children with idiopathic short stature
Prepubertal children with ISS exhibited lower BMAD at the lumbar spine compared to healthy controls. Although short-term GH therapy did not significantly alter bone density, it positively impacted body composition. These findings provide valuable clinical insights into bone health and body composition in children with ISS.
