Journal Title: Türk Klinik ve Laboratuvar Dergisi - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Aim: Long-term insufficient nutrition intake in childhood affects height gain negatively. This study was designed to analyze the effect of oral nutritional support product (ONSP) treatment on growth velocity (GV) and growth factors (GF) in adolescents who were diagnosed nutritional short stature (NSS). Material and Methods: Sixteen adolescents diagnosed NSS were involved. Patients recorded their dietary intake. Caloric deficiencies were calculated and fulfilled with ONSP. Effects of nutritional support treatment on GV, GF and growth parameters were analyzed on 0th, 6th, and 12th months. Results: The increment of the height of the cases on 6th and 12th months, increment of IGFBP3 on 6th month, and the increment of IGF-1 levels, body mass index and weight SDS of the cases on 12th month were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Long-term ONSP treatment, which is given to the adolescents with NSS, increases the growth factors. The increment of IGF-1 levels was in-between secure limits.
