Growth and puberty in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis

Abstract: Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in children, with an annual incidence of 2–20 cases per 100,000 and a prevalence of 16–150 per 100,000. It is associated with several complications that can cause short-term or long-term disability and reduce the quality of life. Among these, growth and pubertal disorders play an important role. Chronic inflammatory conditions are often associated with growth failure ranging from slight decrease in height velocity to severe forms of sh… Show more

“…In this study, IGF-1 expression levels were also significantly upregulated in the ovaries of goats at puberty. IGF-1, a polypeptide hormone, is an important modulator of GH activity, and it plays a pivotal role in cell differentiation and proliferation [38] as well as in bone growth and development [39]. In addition, in the developing central nervous system, IGF-1 mediates changes in morphology, synaptic efficacy, and cellular organization, enabling cells of the central nervous system to respond to continuous external and internal stimuli [40].…”

“…Chronic inflammatory diseases are often associated with growth delay, ranging from a minimal decrease in HV to severe short stature [ 111 ]. Growth disorders have a multifactorial pathogenesis, including the role of the chronic inflammatory state, long-term use of GCs, malnutrition and malabsorption, physical inactivity, and disorders of pubertal onset.…”

“…Despite the undeniable progress in therapeutic possibilities for patients diagnosed with the most common arthropathy in childhood, juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), a substantial proportion of patients develop mild to moderate long-term disability with a decreased health-related quality of life [ 1 ]. Similarly to other autoimmune juvenile-onset illnesses, including type 1 diabetes and systemic lupus erythematosus, JIA patients are deemed to be at higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) during the adulthood [ 2 ].…”
