13 short children aged 7–13 years who had a retarded bone age and low hair zinc concentration (under 140 µg/g) were treated with oral zinc supplements for a year.

Growth hormone, testosterone and somatomedin C also increased after oral zinc supplementation. Data from 755 short healthy children who have attended our Growth Clinic are presented which describe their hair and serum zinc concentration at different ages. The data indicate a decline in hair zinc concentration after birth with a gradual increase at age 4–6 years, finally reaching adult normal levels after adolesc
