Certainly real. Go to south korea and ask what "problem" most endocrinologists work with. It will be literally 90% is just parents worrying about their kids height. Heightism is real in Asia- every parent wants the best for their kid.
HGH certainly makes you grow without a deficiency. It's prescribed for idiopathic short stature- aka a "non-disesase", a kid has natural hormone levels and natural IGF-1, only thing is that the kid is short. Otherwise healthy. Cancer risk is a given with anything that speeds up growth- but it's a risk many parents are willing to take. Cancer is mostly genetically pre-disposed anyways, but that's another story. Increase of IGF-1 makes you taller period. There's no magical cutoff IGF-1 level that all of a sudden makes HGH ineffective at increase your height. It certainly is less effective for "normal" kids, but they will still grow- and as you said with high-dose- many parents up the dosages. This is the problem with Heightist countries. Enough said.
HGH makes your bones thicker always. However- after physis bone fusion- your bones don't grow longer but rather wider at a much more significantly rate compared to if your plates are open. This is why fully grown adults can't use HGH- their bones are fused. Using HGH will just make their bones wider and not longer. The "widening" is minimal at best though, density does increase and studies show this but it is a very insignificant amount.
