Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to reevaluate the diagnostic accuracy of GH peak after GHRH plus arginine test (GHRH+ARG) according to patients' age, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference to diagnose GH deficiency (GHD). OUTCOME MEASURES: GH peak after GHRH+ARG and IGF-I levels reported as sd score. SUBJECTS: Subjects included 408 controls (218 women, 190 men, aged 15-80 yr) and 374 patients with hypopituitarism (167 women, 207 men, aged 16-83 yr). RESULTS: In the (elderly) healthy subjects 15-25 yr old (young), 26-65 yr old (adults) and older than 65 yr, GH cutoffs were 15.6, 11.7, and 8.5 microg/liter, 11.8, 8.1, and 5.5 microg/liter, and 9.2, 6.1, and 4.0 microg/liter, respectively, in the lean, overweight, and obese subjects. Waist circumference was the best predictor of GH peak (t = -7.6, P < 0.0001) followed by BMI (t = -6.7, P < 0.0001) and age (t = -5.7, P < 0.0001). Based on the old (
