With increasing numbers of children being diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) attention has been drawn to these children's physical health. We aimed to identify the prevalence of defined physical problems (epilepsy, migraine, asthma, cancer, diabetes, psoriasis, lactose intolerance, celiac disease, diarrhea, constipation, daytime enuresis, encopresis) in a nationwide population of 9- and 12-year-old twins subdivided into those with and without indications of NDDs. Parents of 28,058 twins participated in a well-validated telephone interview regarding their children's mental health and answered questions about their physical problems. The results indicate a high rate of physical problems in children with NDDs, particularly in those with indications of the presence of combinations of several NDDs.
随着越来越多的儿童被诊断出患有神经发育障碍 (NDD),人们开始关注这些儿童的身体健康。我们旨在确定全国范围内 9 岁和 12 岁双胞胎中存在特定身体问题(癫痫、偏头痛、哮喘、癌症、糖尿病、银屑病、乳糖不耐受、乳糜泻、腹泻、便秘、日间遗尿、肛门失禁)的流行率,并将其分为存在和不存在 NDD 迹象的两组。28058 对双胞胎的父母参加了一项经过充分验证的电话访谈,内容涉及他们孩子的心理健康,并回答了有关他们身体问题的问题。结果表明,患有 NDD 的儿童身体问题发生率很高,尤其是那些存在多种 NDD 组合迹象的儿童。
