Abstract
Background: Constitutional delay of growth and puberty (CDGP) is a variant of normal pattern of growth and development with strong familial impact. THE AIM of the study was to assess the influence of birth weight and length, parents' height, boys height and bone age at the age of 14-16 years and mutation age on their final height.
Material and methods: In 69 boys in the mean age of 14.9+/-1.2 years, whose height fell below the 3rd percentile, CDGP was diagnosed. After completion of growth (at the age of 22.6+/-3.5 years) correlations of different parameters with final height were estimated.
Results: Statistically significant correlation between birth weight, parents' height, mutation age and final height was observed, but no association between birth length, height and bone age in the age group of 14-16 years and the final height was found.
Conclusions: Adult height of boys with CDGP is directly proportional to birth weight, mutation age and parents' height.
