We established three categories for height for patients with acromegaly: normal stature, tall stature (TS, height above the 97th percentile (1.88 standard deviations (SD)) to &amp;lt;3 SD for gender- and country-specific data or as a height which was greater than 1.5 SD but less than 2 SD above the MPH) and gigantism (height which was greater than 3 SD) above the gender- and country-specific mean or greater than 2 SD above MPH).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Thirteen percent (17\/135) of patients (53% females) met the criteria for gigantism, 10% (14\/135) fulfilled the criteria for TS (57% females).
