The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and functional independence level in children with spina bifida (SB).
The study included 116 children between 5 and 18 years. Subjects' socio-demographic characteristics, BMI values and functional independence levels were recorded.
There was negative correlation between BMI and communication and social cognition in girls (p < 0.05). No correlation was found between BMI and WeeFIM in boys (p > 0.05).
The results indicated that body weight in children with SB affected functional independency and that precautions to control weight important in these children.
本研究旨在探讨脊柱裂(SB)患儿体重指数(BMI)与功能独立水平之间的关系。
该研究纳入了116名5至18岁的儿童。记录了受试者的社会人口学特征、BMI值和功能独立水平。
女孩的BMI与沟通及社会认知之间存在负相关(p < 0.05)。男孩的BMI与儿童功能独立性测量量表(WeeFIM)之间未发现相关性(p > 0.05)。
结果表明,脊柱裂患儿的体重会影响功能独立性,对这些儿童而言,控制体重的预防措施很重要。
