Growth hormone is generally secreted in response to sleep, exercise, and hypoglycemia and encourages growth and metabolic function. It is likely that GHD affects 1 in every 4,000 school-age children.

Growth hormone (GH) deficiency is a disorder that absorbs the pituitary gland (a small gland sited at the base of the brain), which produces increase hormone and other hormones. When the pituitary gland does not produce adequate growth hormone, growth will be slower than normal. GH deficiency can arise at any age, and the most common mark in kids and teens is a slowing of growth to less than 2 inches (5 centimeters) a year. Kids with this disorder generally have normal body proportions – in other words, their bodies look normal, just smaller. Growth hormone deficiency does not involve intelligence or brain function.
