摘要: THEODORO, MARIANA F., ZOHREH TALEBIZADEH, AND MERLIN G. BUTLER. Body composition and fatness patterns in Prader-Willi syndrome: comparison with simple obesity. Obesity. 2006;14:1685–1690. Objective: To characterize the body of PraderWilli syndrome (PWS) subjects compare Research Methods Procedures: Seventy-two individuals (27 PWS deletion, 21 uniparental disomy, 24 obese controls) 10 to 49 years old were studied use DXA. measures obtained, regional fat lean mass characterized. Significant differences assessed Student’s t test ANOVA adjusting for age, gender, BMI. Results: between groups found arms, legs, trunk. Total was significantly lower than trunk, especially legs. Furthermore, two regions (legs trunk) showed significant males. However, females these only No identified deletion disomy subjects. Discussion: Our results demonstrate that do, fact, have an unusual patterns, characterized by reduced tissue increased adiposity, males contributing most more similar females.
