Body mass index

downin humans1−6% per bmi unit

1 study

  1. Body mass index decreases daily growth hormone secretory rate in humans (-6% per BMI unit).

    “each unit increase in body mass index, at a given age, reduced the daily GH secretion rate by 6%”

    Age and relative adiposity are specific negative determinants of the frequency and amplitude of growth hormone (GH) secretory bursts and the half-life of endogenous GH in healthy men

  1. Age decreases daily growth hormone secretory rate in humans (-14% per decade).

    “each decade of increasing age attenuated the GH production rate by 14%”
