Abstract
The quality of life of 23 adults with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) who had received growth hormone (GH) therapy was compared with that of 47 normal individuals in a control group. The GHD group had a poorer quality of life than the control group. Statistically significant differences were found between the groups for social isolation, physical mobility, sleep, and emotional status. More individuals in the control group had a driving licence and were married than in the GHD group.
