Objectives: GH in addition to promote linear growth during childhood influences several key metabolic processes as well. In the transition period, from late adolescence to early adulthood, GH plays an important role in skeletal mineralization and muscle mass maturation as well as in developing a favorable cardiometabolic profile. Therefore, several lines of evidence propose GH replacement to be continued if GH evaluation at the transition age fulfills established criteria. The...
