Pubertal growth in diabetics.

S L Stewart-Brown, T J Lee, D C Savage

    Archives of Disease in Childhood
    |August 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Children with diabetes show normal pubertal growth spurts. However, girls experienced reduced peak height velocity and more variable timing compared to boys.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric endocrinology
    • Diabetology
    • Human growth and development

    Background:

    • Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) can impact growth and development in children.
    • Pubertal growth is a critical period influenced by hormonal and metabolic factors.
    • Understanding growth patterns in diabetic children is essential for monitoring and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report mean values for peak height velocity and age at peak velocity in children attending a diabetic clinic.
    • To compare the pubertal growth spurt characteristics between boys and girls with diabetes.
    • To assess potential differences in growth patterns related to diabetes management.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of anthropometric data from children with diabetes.
    • Calculation of peak height velocity (PHV) and age at PHV.
    • Comparison of growth parameters between male and female participants.

    Main Results:

    • Boys with diabetes exhibited normal timing and intensity of their pubertal growth spurt.
    • Girls with diabetes showed a reduced peak height velocity.
    • The age at peak velocity was more variable in girls with diabetes compared to boys.

    Conclusions:

    • The pubertal growth spurt is generally unaffected in timing and intensity in boys with diabetes.
    • Girls with diabetes may experience altered peak height velocity and timing, suggesting potential sex-specific effects of diabetes on growth.
    • Further research is warranted to explore the underlying mechanisms and clinical implications of these findings in female diabetic populations.
