SXATUR~, the quantitative measure of height, varies widely within each ethnic group with a fairly normal distribution. Of the numerous patients whom the physi, clan encounters because of short stature, relatively few are pathologically small in the context of family and ethnic background.

Short stature is defined as a height less than those in the second percentile for age and sex on the appropriate growth chart. Abnormalities of growth may be detected earlier by assessing growth velocity. Specialists refer to an absolute height for which the z score is <−2 SDs for age, or a linear growth velocity with a z score <−1 SDs for age.

CLONIDINE TREATMENT FOR SHORT STATURE
The Lancet, 198734 pubertal children with constitutional growth delay (CGD) were treated with clonidine orally twice a day. In 25 of the children the height velocity rose on clonidine treatment, and in 21 of them by more than 2 cm/yr during the first 6 months of treatment (mean [SD] growth increment 4.4 [0.5] cm/yr).
