Obesity in Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) seems to be related to a low basal metabolic rate (BMR). In addition, abnormal sleep patterns reported in PWS might affect sleeping metabolic rate (SMR).
Our objective was to assess BMR and SMR adjusted for fat-free mass in young PWS patients.
Subjects were 17 PWS patients (10 females and 7 males aged 7.5-19.8 y) and 17 obese control subjects matched for sex and bone age. SMR was measured in a respiratory chamber, BMR with a ventilated-hood system, and body composition by deuterium dilution.
BMR and SMR were significantly lower in the PWS group than in the control group (5.36 +/- 1.18 and 4.62 +/- 1.08 MJ/d compared with 6.38 +/- 1.55 and 5.60 +/- 1.52 MJ/d, respectively; P < 0.05). When fat-free mass was included in the analysis, multiple regression showed no differences in BMR and SMR between groups. When weight was included in the analysis instead of fat-free mass, SMR was lower in the PWS group. Fat-free mass was lower in the PWS group both as an absolute value and when adjusted for height.
BMR and SMR are low in young patients with PWS because of a low fat-free mass.
普拉德-威利综合征(PWS)中的肥胖似乎与基础代谢率(BMR)较低有关。此外,PWS中报告的异常睡眠模式可能会影响睡眠代谢率(SMR)。
我们的目的是评估年轻PWS患者经去脂体重校正后的BMR和SMR。
受试者为17名PWS患者(10名女性和7名男性,年龄7.5 - 19.8岁)以及17名按性别和骨龄匹配的肥胖对照受试者。在呼吸室内测量SMR,用通风罩系统测量BMR,通过氘稀释法测量身体成分。
PWS组的BMR和SMR显著低于对照组(分别为5.36±1.18和4.62±1.08 MJ/d,而对照组为6.38±1.55和5.60±1.52 MJ/d;P<0.05)。当在分析中纳入去脂体重时,多元回归显示两组之间的BMR和SMR没有差异。当在分析中纳入体重而非去脂体重时,PWS组的SMR较低。PWS组的去脂体重无论是绝对值还是经身高校正后均较低。
年轻的PWS患者由于去脂体重较低,其BMR和SMR也较低。
