Table 1 Comparison of anthropometric measures, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and biochemical variables between 25 IGHD and 25 controls. Data are expressed as mean (standard deviation), and compared by Student’s t test, except for glucose, hemoglobin A1C, expressed as median (interquartile range), and compared by Mann–Whitney test, and sex (male) expressed in n, (percentage)

From: Quantitative measures of the vascular and neural components of the retina in adult individuals with congenital and untreated growth hormone deficiency
