Objectives£ºThe purpose of this study was to examine group differences in psychological and attention problems in children with short stature and healthy controls.
Methods: Ninety-five children with short stature and two-hundred healthy controls were participated. Psychological characteristics were assessed with Korean Child Behavior Checklist(K-CBCL). Attention abilities were assessed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale(ADHD-RS) and Continuous Performance Test(CPT).
Results£ºChildren with short stature had more psychological problems on the K-CBCL. Scores of ADHD-RS and CPT showed group differences but neither group reached clinical cut-off score. Within short stature group, correlation analysis indicated their height was correlated with severity of psychological and attention problems.
Conclusion£ºChildren with short stature appear to have more psychological and attention problems. Our study highlights the importance of screening for such problems in children with short stature.
