This cross-sectional study was undertaken to construct the new body fat % curve and provide body composition reference data for adolescent girls with Turner syndrome (TS). They diagnosed cytogenetically by blood karyotyping and not treated with growth hormone (GH).
The study included 70 TS girls from age 13 years to age 17 years. Body composition was measured by bioelectrical impedance. Smoothed centile charts were derived by using the least mean square (LMS) method.
The new body fat curves reflect the increase of body fat mass (FM) from age 13 years to age 17 years. Body FM % of Egyptian TS girls was lower when compared with age-matched American untreated TS girls.
This study presents the new body fat curves and reference values of body composition for untreated Egyptian TS adolescent girls. The present charts can be used for direct assessment of body FM % for Egyptian TS girls and evaluation for cases on GH treatment or other growth promoting therapy.
本横断面研究旨在构建新的体脂百分比曲线，并为特纳综合征（TS）青春期女孩提供身体成分参考数据。她们通过血液核型分析进行细胞遗传学诊断，且未接受生长激素（GH）治疗。
该研究纳入了70名年龄在13岁至17岁之间的TS女孩。通过生物电阻抗测量身体成分。使用最小二乘法（LMS）得出平滑百分位数图表。
新的体脂曲线反映了13岁至17岁期间体脂量（FM）的增加。与年龄匹配的未接受治疗的美国TS女孩相比，埃及TS女孩的身体FM%较低。
本研究呈现了未接受治疗的埃及TS青春期女孩的新体脂曲线和身体成分参考值。当前图表可用于直接评估埃及TS女孩的身体FM%，以及评估接受GH治疗或其他促生长治疗的病例。
