A member asked:

Hi there! i am 43 years old (woman) height=1.82cm weight=120.5 kg igf-1=219.0 is it normal ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No GH excess: Hi. In our lab, that IGF-1 would be within normal limits for a 43 yo woman, so we have no evidence of growth hormone excess. However, the BMI is 36.4, diagnostic of obesity. The height is stated as "1.82 cm", but I strongly suspect you mean 1.82 m or 182 cm. This is taller than the average woman, but the IGF-1 suggests no GH excess.
