Abstract

Body composition in a group of growth hormone (GH)-deficient adults was compared with a control group matched for age, sex, body height, body weight, and body mass index by using bioelectrical impedance and deuterium oxide-dilution methods and hydrodensitometry. The body-fat percentages of GH-deficient adults were higher despite comparable weight, height, age, and body mass index. Body impedance was higher in the GH-deficient adults after correction for differences in height and fat-free mass. As a consequence, prediction formulas for body composition from body impedance developed in normal subjects cannot be applied to GH-deficient subjects. The higher body impedance in the GH-deficient subjects can be ascribed to a smaller amount of extracellular water in these subjects than in control subjects.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
