The influence of sex steroids on somatic growth during childhood was evaluated by reviewing linear growth characteristics of 18 agonadal patients with normal sex chromosomes. None of the heights throughout childhood and before the onset of sex steroid therapy were below 2 SDs of the mean. Based on the normal z scores of these patients, we concluded that somatic growth throughout the childhood and prepubertal years is not sex-steroid dependent.
通过回顾18例具有正常性染色体的性腺发育不全患者的线性生长特征，评估了性类固醇对儿童期身体生长的影响。在整个儿童期以及性类固醇治疗开始之前，这些患者的身高均未低于均值的2个标准差。基于这些患者正常的z评分，我们得出结论：整个儿童期和青春期前的身体生长并不依赖于性类固醇。
