Thirty-seven (66%) studies reported anthropometric measurements and physical characteristics. Behavioural, cognitive developmental and psychiatric outcomes were also commonly reported (27, 48%) as were biochemical results in 27 (48%) studies. Other outcomes included presence of co-morbidities (16, 29%) and fertility outcomes (10, 18%). In the studies focusing on individuals \u226516 years of age, 183 studies met the eligibility criteria. Outcomes relating to biochemistry, physical characteristics, fertility and occurrence of co-morbidities were reported in 118 (64%), 89 (49%) 65 (36%) and 62 (34%) studies respectively. Quality of life was reported least frequently in only 2 (4%) paediatric studies and 5 (3%) of adult studies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The present study highlights the variety of outcomes studied in boys and men with KS.
