Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a common, neurodevelopmental disorder of children that results in significant impairment in everyday activities of living. Over the past two decades, a large body of work has documented associations between DCD, physical inactivity, and poor health-related fitness. The exact nature of these relations, however, has been relatively little studied. In this paper, we ask whether the balance of evidence supports the proposition that DCD is a fundamental cause of inactivity and poor fitness. To address this question, we apply Hill's criteria for causation. We conclude that the evidence is consistent with, and reasonably supportive of, this proposition, but does not exclude alternative explanations.
发育性协调障碍（DCD）是一种常见的儿童神经发育障碍，会导致日常生活活动的严重受损。在过去的二十年中，大量研究文献记录了 DCD、身体活动不足和健康相关体能差之间的关联。然而，这些关系的确切性质相对研究较少。在本文中，我们探讨了证据是否支持 DCD 是不活动和体能差的根本原因这一观点。为了解决这个问题，我们应用了希尔斯因果关系标准。我们的结论是，证据与这一观点一致，并提供了合理的支持，但并不能排除其他解释。
