The purpose of this study was the recording of physical activity and sedentary habits of adolescents with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
We performed a structured interview to assess the level of physical activity and sedentary habits of girls with PCOS. We used a group of healthy adolescents as controls. All girls had their age, height, weight, hip and waist circumference measured and their BMI calculated.
81 girls (35 with PCOS and 46 controls) participated in the study. Girls with PCOS engaged in physical activities less than controls. Even when they did, the frequency and intensity of exercise was less. Also, girls with PCOS were less likely to be aware of the positive effects of exercise on their health. Girls in both groups were sedentary in excess of the 4 hours per day limit, which has been linked with obesity.
Healthy teenagers were involved in a sporting activity more often and more frequently than the PCOS group. Athletic and sedentary habits of adolescents with PCOS may interact with other factors leading to obesity.
本研究旨在记录多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)青少年的身体活动和久坐习惯。
我们进行了结构化访谈,以评估PCOS女孩的身体活动水平和久坐习惯。我们将一组健康青少年作为对照。所有女孩均测量了年龄、身高、体重、臀围和腰围,并计算了她们的体重指数(BMI)。
81名女孩(35名PCOS患者和46名对照)参与了研究。PCOS女孩进行身体活动的频率低于对照组。即便她们进行身体活动,其运动频率和强度也较低。此外,PCOS女孩不太可能意识到运动对其健康的积极影响。两组女孩每天久坐时间均超过4小时的限制,这与肥胖有关。
健康青少年比PCOS组更经常、更频繁地参与体育活动。PCOS青少年的运动和久坐习惯可能与导致肥胖的其他因素相互作用。
