“…In this study which was performed on 706 IDS (aged between 2-18 years), the mean of BMI was The situations of doing sport in TDI and IDS The comparison of lower extremity muscle strength measurements of TDIs who performed team and individual sport The comparison of lower extremity muscle strength of athletes and non-athletes with IDS as 26.14 ± 5.63 kg/m 2 in DS males, respectively. The same dimensions were 26.40±5.92 kg/m 2 in DS females[21]. In our study, the means of BMI of thirty IDS aged between 15.90±9.64 years (15 male; 15 female) were calculated as 24.69 ± 7.11 kg/m 2 .…”

Introduction: The muscle strength problems of Individuals with Down Syndrome (IDS) originate from both congenital hypotonus and joint hypermobility. This affects daily life activities adversely. In medicine, muscle strength measurements are usually performed with Nicholas Manual Muscle Test (NMMT) or with the Manual Muscle Test (MMT) by physiotherapists, whereas, in other fields, scientists have difficulty to find suitable tests for measurement of muscle strength. The aim of this study is to investigate whether alternative tests can be used to assess muscle strength in IDS instead of medical tests. Material and methods: In the city of Adana of Turkey, 30 IDS from various Special Education and Rehabilitation Centers and 85 Typically Developing Individuals (TDI) from various secondary schools participated in the study voluntarily. Lower extremity strength was evaluated with NMMT, Leg Dynamometer Test (LDT), MMT and 30-second Chair Stand Test (30s-CST). The Mann Whitney U Test and Spearman's Rank Correlation were used in statistical analysis. Results: By using different methods, it was determined that the lower extremity strength assessment measurements correlated positively with each other. Especially, the 30s-CST correlated with the ratio of 0.62 with LDT, while the LDT correlated with the gluteus maximus Manual Muscle Test (right-left) ratio of 0.66-0.64, respectively. Conclusion: As a remarkable result, low muscle strength was not measured with NMMT. For this reason, we can emphasize that the muscle development measurements of IDS with low muscle strength should be made by using 30s-CST or LDT with NMMT together.

“…BMI is a health marker. It is commonly used to classify the nutritional status of child, adult and elder individuals [21]. Bertapelli However, there was a negative correlation between leg strength per body weight and BMI (r = -0.719 and p < 0.0001) [22].…”

“…Growth charts for persons with DS from birth to 18 or 20 years of age have been developed based on several national cohorts (40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46). Traditionally growth curves may be useful in children to monitor growth and nutritional status.…”

Several features and comorbidities in DS have nutritional implications and consequences, which needs to be addressed in further detail. In this review, we searched and assessed the literature from year 2000-2019 and found in total 57 nutritionally relevant articles.In infancy and early childhood, children with DS have high risk of oral motor difficulties and pharyngeal dysphagia with aspiration, which requires systematic attention. To improve nutritional status in children with underweight and clinical signs of feeding problems further evaluation of underlying causes is required. Clinical interventions should promote swallowing safety and development of feeding abilities.Already from 4-5 years of age overweight may become a concern. To prevent disease later in life, there is an urgent need for more research on nutritional aspects in prevention and treatment of obesity for adolescents with DS. The present review did not find any data to support the use of dietary supplementation except when deficiency is documented. In addition, the literature presented clearly documents the need for more research using larger study samples, and control groups, addressing important nutritional challenges in children and adolescents with DS.

Abstract: Premature infants behave similarly in terms of BIVA and most of them have less absolute body water, presenting less fat free mass and fat mass in absolute values, compared to term newborn infants.
