The prevalence was about 10.49% of the total population. The mean age of the sample was 12.34 \u00b1 3.19 years. The endocrine causes were the most common followed by normal variants of growth and delay, chronic systemic illness, and nutritional and skeletal causes. Among the endocrine causes, hypothyroidism was the most common followed by growth hormone deficiency and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mean chronological age of 12.34 \u00b1 3.19 years suggests the delayed detection of short stature in the population.
