Resumo
Introduction: Down syndrome (DS) is the leading genetic cause of intellectual disability. The clinical characterization is broad and includes: hypotonic, muscle weakness, low physical fitness, stunting and overweight. The literatures shows a relationship between physical fitness and body composition, which can be assessed by anthropometric indicators such as body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and skinfold thickness along with bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Physical fitness can be assessed by 6-minute walk test (6MWT). Objective: To evaluate and correlate the distance covered on the 6MWT with anthropometric measurements and body composition of adolescents with DS that not practicing sport in competition regime. Methods: It was conducted an observational study of 22 young males with DS between September and October 2012. The data collected were: height and weight to calculate BMI and realize the nutritional classification, waist circumference to assess the presence of central fat and skinfold thickness to calculate %body fat (% BF). Furthermore, it was evaluated the lean mass (LM) using BIA and performed the 6MWT to assess the physical fitness of the individuals. The adolescents were divided into three age groups. It was adopted as the level of statistical significance set at p <0.05. Results: The mean of the sample variables were: age: 15.59 years, body mass: 62.28 kg, height: 1.53 m, BMI: 26.31 kg/m2, WC: 87.57 cm, %BF: 37.8%, LM: 50.87 kg and 6MWT distance was 478m. Among the participantes, 9 were classified as normal weight, 12 overweight and 1 obese. WC had increased in 13 adolescents and only 1 participant showed a normal %BF. There was significant difference between groups for BMI, WC and LM lean mass and a positive correlation between all anthropometric measurements and lean mass mesured by BIA. However, it was not observed for the 6MWT. Conclusions: All anthropometric indicators showed good correlation with each other and LM given by the BIA. There has been a growing trend among age groups for BMI and WC and decreasing for lean mass. However, no difference was observed between groups for both BF% given by the skinfold thickness and the distance covered in 6MWT. Moreover, the distance did not correlate with any other variable. The distance walked during the 6MWT may be impaired in people with intellectual deficit by understanding issues, since no correlations were obtained between anthropometric data, body composition and performance in the test.
