The pattern of growth of the studied traits in children with CAH is significantly different than an average pattern for normal children. A new research approach used to investigate the problem of developmental disorders in children with CAH revealed that both body height and weight - regardless of the sex - in successive stages (prepubertal, pubertal and postpubertal) of ontogenetic development tend to have progressively lower mean values as compared to the norm, and that differences between these values in the analyzed stages are statistically significant (p<0.01).enCongenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH)growth disorderlevel and trend of growthbody height of childrenAssessment of Physical Growth in Children with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH)Artykuł
