What is growth hormone deficiency?

Growth hormone, produced by the pituitary gland located at the base of the brain, plays a crucial role in regulating body composition, fluids, muscle and bone growth, and mental function. When a person has a growth hormone deficiency, it means their pituitary gland isn't producing enough growth hormone to meet the body's needs. This deficiency can lead to various medical issues, but growth hormone replacement therapy can significantly improve many of the associated symptoms.

Medical dangers of growth hormone deficiency

Adults with a growth hormone deficiency are at a higher risk of developing abnormal body composition, including increased fat accumulation, particularly around the abdomen. They also face a greater likelihood of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, coupled with reduced energy levels.

This deficiency often leads to decreased muscle strength and endurance, making it harder to maintain an active lifestyle. Bone density may also be compromised, increasing the risk of osteoporosis later in life. Additionally, adults with this condition tend to have higher overall cholesterol levels, further impacting their health.
