The goal of the present research was to study the structure and clinical features of various clinical-pathogenetic forms of growth retardation in children, determine the variant of hormonal and metabolic changes in different forms of stunting. The present paper demonstrates heterogenicity of anthropometric, hormonal, radiological manifestations in various forms of stunting, which proves the necessity of differenciated approach to the problem of stunting.
