AGHDA/Evidence
Method evidence record

AGHDA

The AGHDA is a 25-item disease-specific quality of life questionnaire designed to assess the burden of adult growth hormone (GH) deficiency. Developed by Hunt, Werther, and colleagues in 2000, it evaluates symptoms and functional impairments directly related to GH deficiency, including fatigue, reduced muscle strength, weight gain, and psychological difficulties. The instrument is widely used in endocrinology practice and clinical trials to quantify the impact of GH replacement therapy.
