Resumen
Objective: to evaluate the prevalence of obesity and the body fat topography in children and adolescents from both sexes aged 6 to 19 years old with Down syndrome, residents in the city of Campinas, São Paulo. Methods: there were nine anthropometric measurements taken, including weight, height, and tricipital, bicipital, subscapular, suprailiac, abdominal, thigh, and calf skin folds. The fat percentage was determined by employing the prediction equations from Slaughter et al. Statistical analysis was performed using the computer package R Commander 1.6-3, with the descriptive statistics (median and 25th and 75th percentiles), the Mann-Whitney test, and the t-test for comparison between age groups, at the 5% (p > 0.05) level. Results: most subjects had excess body fat, with the higher values being found among the females. The obesity was not a prominent characteristic among the boys, unlike the other age groups who had manifestations of elevated obesity. Regarding the body fat topography, most showed higher concentration of fat in the thigh, and smaller deposits in the biceps region. In the transition from childhood to adolescence, it was verifiable that boys and young men differ in the amounts of adipose tissue. However, no significant differences were observed among the girls, and the young women. Conclusion: the assessment of the prevalence of obesity and subcutaneous fat topography are important resources to support researchers, and practitioners who work directly on improving the quality of life of children and adolescents with Down syndrome. 23 1 65 70 Speiser, P.W., Rudolf, M.C.J., Anhalt, H., Camacho-Hubner, C., Chiarelli, F., Eliakim, A., Consensus statement: childhood obesity (2005) J Clin Endocrinol Metab., 90 (3), pp. 1871-1887 Reilly, J.J., Methven, E., Mcdowell, Z.C., Hacking, B., Alexander, D., Stewart, D., Health consequences of obesity (2003) Arch Dis Child., 88 (9), pp. 748-752 Grundy, S.M., Benjamin, I.J., Burke, G.L., Chait, A., Eckel, R.H., Howard, B.V., Diabetes and cardiovascular disease: a statement for healthcare professionals from the American Heart Association (1999) Circulation., 100 (10), pp. 1134-1146 Obesity: preventing and managing the global epidemic (2000) Geneva: Report on a WHO Consultation on Obesity, , World Health Organization González-Agüero, A., Ara, I., Moreno, L.A., Vicente-Rodríguez, G., Casajús, J.A., Fat and lean masses in youths with Down syndrome: Gender differences (2011) Res Dev Disabil., 32 (5), pp. 1685-1693 González-Agüero, A., Vicente-Rodriguez, G., Moreno, L.A., Casajús, J.A., Dimorfismo sexual en grasa corporal en adolescentes com síndrome de Down (2010) Rev Esp Obes., 8 (1), pp. 28-33 Slaughter, M.H., Lohman, T.G., Boileau, R.A., Horswill, C.A., Stillman, R.J., Van Loan, M.D., Skinfold equations for estimation of body fatness in children and youth (1988) Hum Biol., 60 (5), pp. 709-723 Guedes, D.P., Guedes, J.E.R.P., Crescimento, composição corporal e desempenho motor em crianças e adolescentes (1997) São Paulo: CLR Balieiro González-Agüero, A., Vicente-Rodríguez, G., Ara, I., Moreno, L.A., Casajús, J.A., Accuracy of prediction equations to assess percentage of body fat in children and adolescents with Down syndrome compared to air displacement plethysmography (2011) Res Dev Disabil., 32 (5), pp. 1764-1769 Queiroga, M.B., Utilização de medidas antropométricas para a determinação da distribuição de gordura corporal (1998) Atividade física & saúde., 3 (1), pp. 37-47 Guedes, D.P., Guedes, J.E.R.P., Manual prático para avaliação em educação física (2006) Barueri: Manole Malina, R.M., Bouchard, C., Bar-Or, O., Growth, Maturation, and Physical Activity (2004) Champaign, IL: Human Kinetics Guedes, D.P., Guedes, J.E.R.P., Controle do peso corporal: composição corporal, atividade física e nutrição (2003) Rio de Janeiro: Shape Dwyer, T., Blizzard, C.L., Defining obesity in children by biological endpoint rather than population distribution (1996) Int J Obes Relat Metab Disordv., 20 (5), pp. 472-480 Cooke, P.S., Heine, P.A., Taylor, J.A., Lubahn, D.B., The role of estrogen and receptor-alpha in male adipose tissue (2001) Mol Cell Endocrinol., 178 (1-2), pp. 147-154 Ferrara, M., Capozzi, L., Russo, R., Impact of er gene polymorphisms on overweight and obesity in Down syndrome (2008) Cent Eur J Med., 3 (3), pp. 271-278 Marreiro, D.N., De Sousa, A.F., Nogueira, N.N., Oliveira, F.E., Effect of zinc supplementation on thyroid hormone metabolism of adolescents with Down syndrome (2009) Biol Trace Elem Res., 129 (1-3), pp. 20-27 Ordóñez-Munoz, F.J., Rosety, M., Rodriguez, M.R., Influence of 12-week exercise training on fat mass percentage in adolescents with Down syndrome (2006) Med Sci Monit., 12 (10), pp. 416-419 Guedes, D.P., Guedes, J.E.R.P., Prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade em crianças e adolescentes do município de Londrina (PR), Brasil (1998) Motriz., 4 (1), pp. 18-25 Costa, L.T., Alternativa metodológica para mensurar a maturação somática em crianças e adolescentes com síndrome de Down.
