Summary
This study tested whether a dose regimen of growth hormone based on body weight is equivalent
or better than starting with a low dose and gradually increasing the dose according to
individual patient needs. Efficacy of the two regimens were assessed from changes in body fat
measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scanning, performed at the beginning of
the study and at the completion of the study eight months later.
