The objective of this study was to analyse bone quality parameters of football players with intellectual disability (ID) participating in adapted competitive football. Sixty-seven male football players with ID were studied: 22 with Down syndrome (DS) and 45 without DS. The average age was 26 years (range: 16 ̶ 50 years). A group of 25 age-matched sedentary individuals with ID (11 DS and 14 non-DS) and another group of 20 healthy participants of the same age group not involved in competitive football were comparatively analysed. There were no differences in the bone quality parameters when the healthy sedentary individuals were compared with both the sedentary and the football players with ID. However, the speed of sound (SOS), -score, and estimated bone mineral density (BMD) were of higher values in the football players with ID than in the sedentary ID group ( < 0.05). On comparing the football players with non-DS ID with the sedentary non-DS individuals, significant differences were noted in SOS ( < 0.01), -scores ( < 0.01), and estimated BMD ( < 0.01). Four of the 45 non-DS (8.9%) and none of the football players with DS had -scores less than -1.5. Two of the 14 sedentary non-DS participants (14.3%) had -scores indicating osteoporosis. In summary, the ID population actively involved in football showed higher values of bone mass parameters than their sedentary ID and healthy peers. The participants with non-DS ID showed a higher prevalence of osteoporosis than the football players with DS. Participation in sports seems to prevent bone loss in individuals with ID.
本研究旨在分析参与竞技足球的智障（ID）运动员的骨质量参数。共研究了 67 名男性 ID 足球运动员：22 名唐氏综合征（DS）患者和 45 名非 DS 患者。平均年龄为 26 岁（范围：16 至 50 岁）。比较分析了一组 25 名年龄匹配的 ID 久坐者（11 名 DS 和 14 名非 DS）和另一组年龄相同、不参与竞技足球的 20 名健康 ID 参与者。与健康久坐 ID 组相比，健康久坐 ID 组与 ID 久坐和足球运动员的骨质量参数无差异。然而，ID 足球运动员的声速（SOS）、-评分和估计骨密度（BMD）值均高于 ID 久坐组（ < 0.05）。将 ID 非 DS 足球运动员与 ID 非 DS 久坐者比较，SOS（ < 0.01）、-评分（ < 0.01）和估计 BMD（ < 0.01）存在显著差异。45 名非 DS 运动员中有 4 名（8.9%）和无 DS 的运动员中没有 1 名（0%）的 -评分低于-1.5。14 名 ID 非 DS 久坐者中有 2 名（14.3%）的 -评分表明骨质疏松症。总之，积极参与足球运动的 ID 人群的骨量参数值高于久坐 ID 和健康同龄人。非 DS ID 参与者的骨质疏松症患病率高于 DS 足球运动员。运动似乎可以防止 ID 人群的骨质流失。
