Abstract

Metabolic changes resulting from type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) may put growth and development at risk. To evaluate the final stature of DM1 patients and the interference of DM1 in growth. The final height reached by 58 DM1 patients was evaluated according to anthropometric data and metabolic control. Mean age was 26.4 years (15.0-51.0) and the duration of disease was of 9.6 years (1.4-25.0). Final stature was 165.1 cm (149.3-183.0) and the z-score for height was 0.09 (-1.76-2.85). In a subgroup (n = 34), it was possible to evaluate the effect of metabolic control on growth. Mean glycosylated hemoglobin was 12.2% (6.8-24.1) and the correlation between anthropometric data and glucose control was not considered statistically significant (p > 0.05). We conclude that DM1 had no effect on the final stature, to the detriment of a poor metabolic control.
