The effects of GH replacement in elderly GH-deficient (GHD) adults are not well known. OBJECTIVE/DESIGN/PATIENTS: In this prospective, single-center, open-label study, baseline characteristics and the effects of 2-yr GH replacement were determined in 24 GHD adults above 65 yr of age and in 24 younger GHD patients (mean age, 37 yr; range, 27-46 yr). All patients had adult onset disease, and both groups were comparable in terms of the number of pituitary hormonal deficiencies, gender, body mass index, and waist/hip ratio. Duration of hypopituitarism was, however, longer in the elderly patients.
