Children with Down syndrome (DS) are characterised by peculiar dietary choices and approach to physical activity. The aim of this study is to quantify their adherence to the Mediterranean diet, their level of physical activity and lipid profile.
Cross-sectional study, involving 61 children affected by DS. Parents of the patients were requested to complete two questionnaires, (KIDMED) and . In addition, children underwent a venous sampling to check their lipid profile.
High scores on KIDMED and Godin were found and were associated with a reduced likelihood of being overweight or obese (0.001< < 0.077; 0.001< < 0.248). The level of physical activity and the probability of finding pathological HDL values in plasma were inversely related (0.001< < 0.263).
The study proves that can identify children affected by DS that can lead to develop inadequate anthropometric variables and low levels of HDL cholesterol. Moreover, the results of this study show that, despite potential difficulties in the pursuit of a correct diet and an adequate approach to physical activity, children with DS could achieve results that are substantially like those of non-DS children.
唐氏综合征（DS）患儿具有独特的饮食选择和体育活动方式。本研究的目的是量化他们对地中海饮食的依从性、身体活动水平和血脂谱。
横断面研究，纳入61名DS患儿。要求患儿家长完成两份问卷，即儿童地中海饮食依从性问卷（KIDMED）和戈丁问卷。此外，患儿接受静脉采血以检查血脂谱。
在KIDMED和戈丁问卷上得分较高，且与超重或肥胖可能性降低相关（0.001＜ ＜0.077；0.001＜ ＜0.248）。身体活动水平与血浆中HDL值异常的概率呈负相关（0.001＜ ＜0.263）。
本研究证明，[此处原文可能有误，应补充具体内容]可以识别出受DS影响的儿童，这些儿童可能会出现人体测量变量不足和HDL胆固醇水平低的情况。此外，本研究结果表明，尽管在遵循正确饮食和采取适当体育活动方式方面可能存在困难，但DS患儿仍可取得与非DS患儿基本相似的结果。
