Abstract
Of 449 children aged 6-9 years with heights below the first centile in a total population of 48 221, only 1 had previously undiagnosed hypothyroidism. In a community with well developed health services hypothyroidism is unlikely to be the cause of short stature among primary school children.Entities:
