Abstract：【Objective】To evaluate the detailed etiology of school-age children with short stature in Panyu District, Guangzhou. 【Methods】The clinical data of 150 school-age (6-14-year-old) children with short stature were collected by mobile phone from July 1, 2018 to July 1, 2020 in the Pediatric Endocrinology Department of He Xian Memorial Hospital, Panyu District, Guangzhou city. The etiological factors of school-age children with short stature in this area were analyzed retrospectively, and the etiological distribution of children with different gender and age were analyzed retrospectively. 【Results】In Panyu District of Guangzhou, idiopathic dwarfism accounted for the highest proportion (55.33%), followed by growth hormone deficiency (30.67%), followed by familial dwarfism (4.00%), pituitary tumor (1.33%), hypophyseal dysplasia (3.33%), achondroplasia (0.67%), Turner syndrome (1.33%), small for gestational age (2.67%), and chronic renal insufficiency Tubular acidosis (0.67%). In children with short stature, male children were more common (69.33%), girls were less common (30.67%), idiopathic short stature and growth hormone deficiency were more common in male children (36.67% and 24.67%, respectively). Children aged 8-12 accounted for 59.33%, followed by children aged 6-8 and 12-14 (23.33% and 17.33%, respectively). Idiopathic short stature and growth hormone deficiency were mainly 8-12-year-old children (32.67% and 22.67%, respectively), while children aged 6-8 and 12-14 years accounted for 16.00%, 5.33% and 6.67% and 4.67% respectively.【Conclusion】There are many causes of school-age short stature in Panyu District of Guangzhou city.
