BACKGROUND
Overweight and obesity is a growing concern among individuals with intellectual disabilities; however, little is known about the prevalence among children and youth with Down syndrome (CYDS). The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of overweight/obesity among CYDS in South West Ireland.
METHODS
This cross-sectional study measured height and weight of 61 CYDS aged 4-16 years. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated and percentage body fat (PBF) was measured using bio-electrical impendence analysis (BIA).
RESULTS
Using the International Obesity Task Force BMI cut-offs, 51.6% of males and 40% of females were overweight/obese compared to 32% and 14.8%, respectively, using PBF. The mean PBF for males was 18.76 versus females 22.38 (p < .05). There is a higher prevalence of overweight/obesity, particularly in males, compared to the general population of children.
CONCLUSIONS
The difference in estimation of overweight/obesity between BMI and BIA has implications for research and clinical practice.
背景
超重和肥胖在智障人士中日益受到关注；然而，对于唐氏综合征儿童和青少年（CYDS）的患病率知之甚少。本研究的目的是确定爱尔兰西南部CYDS中超重/肥胖的患病率。
方法
这项横断面研究测量了61名4至16岁CYDS的身高和体重。计算体重指数（BMI），并使用生物电阻抗分析（BIA）测量体脂百分比（PBF）。
结果
根据国际肥胖特别工作组的BMI临界值，51.6%的男性和40%的女性超重/肥胖，而使用PBF时，这一比例分别为32%和14.8%。男性的平均PBF为18.76，女性为22.38（p <.05）。与儿童总体人群相比，超重/肥胖的患病率更高，尤其是在男性中。
结论
BMI和BIA在超重/肥胖估计上的差异对研究和临床实践具有影响。
