OBJECTIVES: To determine the effect of growth hormone (GH) on body composition and motor development in infants and toddlers with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). STUDY DESIGN: Twenty-nine subjects with PWS (4-37 months of age) were randomized to GH treatment (1mg/m 2 /day) or observation for 12 months. Percent body fat, lean body mass, and bone mineral density were measured by dual x-ray absorptiometry; energy expenditure was measured by deuterium dilution; and motor constructs of mobility (M) and stability (S) were assessed using the Toddler Infant Motor Evaluation (TIME). RESULTS: GH-treated subjects, compared with controls, demonstrated decreased percent body fat (mean, 22.6% +/- 8.9% vs 28.5% +/- 7.9%; P < .001), increased lean body mass (mean, 9.82 +/- 1.9 kg vs 6.3 +/- 1.9 kg; P < .001), and increased height velocity Z scores (mean, 5. 0 +/- 1.8 vs 1.4 +/- 1.0; P < .001). Patients who began GH before 18 months of age showed higher mobility skill acquisition compared with controls within the same age range (mean increase in raw score, 284 +/- 105 vs 206 +/- 63; P < .05). CONCLUSIONS: GH treatment of infants and toddlers with PWS for 12 months significantly improves body composition and when begun before 18 months of age increases mobility skill acquisition. These results suggest that GH therapy instituted early in life may lessen deterioration of body composition in PWS while also accelerating motor development. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between objectively measured daily physical activity and body fat. STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional, observational, study of 248 children aged 7.9 to 11.1 years. Abdominal fat mass and total body fat mass were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Daily physical activity was assessed by accelerometers for 4 days. RESULTS: Total body fat expressed as a percentage of body mass was inversely related to minutes of vigorous physical activity per day, for all children r = -0.38 (P < .05). Children, both boys and girls, in the highest quartile of body fat performed on average 12 minutes less vigorous activity per day compared with their counterparts in the lowest quartile. Multiple regression analysis revealed that independent factors for body fat were number of minutes of vigorous activity per day and sex. CONCLUSION: Low physical activity can be a contributing factor in childhood obesity. Only longitudinal studies, however, can give more definitive information about the relation between daily physical activity and obesity. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To assess body composition of infants with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) by using deuterium dilution and investigating the efficacy of early institution of growth hormone (GH) therapy in increasing lean mass (LM) and preventing massive obesity. STUDY DESIGN: One group of 11 children with PWS <2 years before and during 30-month GH therapy (GH group) was compared with 6 infants administered only coenzyme Q(10) for 1 year (Q10 group). LM adjusted for height (LM(Ht)) and relative fat mass (%FM(Age)) standard deviation scores (SDS) were calculated from data of 95 healthy children. RESULTS: Initially, LM(Ht) of all patients was below the normal average. LM(Ht) decreased by -0.46 +/- 0.3 SD (P=.03) per year in the Q10 group but rose by 0.25 +/- 0.3 SD (P=.02) per year during GH therapy, normalizing after 30 months (-0.70 +/- 1.0 SD). Despite low to normal weight for height (WfH), %FM(Age) was above the normal average (GH group, 31.0% +/- 4.5%, Q10 group, 32.4% +/- 9.5%). In the Q10 infants, %FM(Age) increased by 0.71 +/- 0.7 SD per year, whereas in the GH group, %FM(Age) remained more stable up to 30 months. CONCLUSIONS: Diminished LM(Ht) found in infants with PWS further declines during the early years. Early institution of GH therapy lifts LM(Ht) into the normal range and delays fat tissue accumulation. 相似文献
