Skinfold thickness (ST) was measured in 43 children with various forms of growth hormone (GH) deficiency during the first year of GH therapy. The average (and SEM) initial ST, expressed as standard deviation score (SDS) was 1.17 (0.25) for subscapular, 0.63 (0.18) for triceps, and 0.40 (0.21) for bi
