"Obesity" is considered a feature of youth with DS but whether "low physical fitness" is also a feature is unknown.
The aim of this case-control study was to compare the levels of fatness and fitness in adolescents with and without DS.
Participants included 17 (5 girls) adolescents with DS aged 12-18 years and a control group of 94 (45 girls) adolescents without DS aged 12-16 years. The ALPHA health-related fitness test battery for children and adolescents was selected to assess fatness and fitness in both groups.
There were no differences in levels of fatness between groups (all P > 0.27). Adolescents with DS had lower levels of fitness in all the tests than adolescents without DS (all P < 0.001).
Adolescents with DS have similar levels of fatness and lower levels of fitness than their peers without DS.
“肥胖”被认为是唐氏综合征青少年的一个特征,但“身体素质差”是否也是一个特征尚不清楚。
本病例对照研究的目的是比较有和没有唐氏综合征的青少年的肥胖程度和身体素质水平。
参与者包括17名(5名女孩)年龄在12 - 18岁的唐氏综合征青少年和94名(45名女孩)年龄在12 - 16岁的无唐氏综合征青少年组成的对照组。选择用于儿童和青少年的ALPHA健康相关体能测试组合来评估两组的肥胖程度和身体素质。
两组之间的肥胖程度没有差异(所有P>0.27)。唐氏综合征青少年在所有测试中的身体素质水平均低于无唐氏综合征的青少年(所有P<0.001)。
唐氏综合征青少年与无唐氏综合征的同龄人相比,肥胖程度相似,但身体素质水平较低。
