AbstractBackground:Low bone mineral density (BMD) has been frequently described in subjects with Down syndrome (DS). Reduced physical activity (PA) levels may contribute to low BMD in this population. The objective of the study was to investigate whether PA levels were related to the femoral neck bone mass distribution in a sample of 14 males and 12 females with DS aged 12–18 years.Methods:BMD was evaluated by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at the integral, superolateral and inferomedial femoral neck regions and PA levels were assessed by accelerometry. The BMDs between the sexes and PA groups (below and above the 50th percentile of the total PA) were compared using independent t-tests and analyses of covariance (ANCOVAs) controlling for age, height and body weight.Results:No differences were found between the BMDs of males and females in any femoral neck region (p>0.05). Females with higher PA levels demonstrated increased integral (0.774 g/cmConclusions:This investigation shows that females accumulating more total PA presented increased BMDs at the integral and superolateral femoral neck regions (14.1% and 17.0%, respectively) when compared to their less active peers. These data highlight the importance of PA in females with DS to counteract their low bone mass and to improve their bone health.

In 83 males and 99 females, the relation between peak strain physical activity (PSPA) from 13 to 27 years and lumbar bone mineral density (LBMD) at age 27 was studied. Physical activity was measured longitudinally by an interview six times between ages 13 and 27. Peak strain scores based on ground reaction forces were developed to quantify all registrated activities for peak strain. LBMD was determined once at age 27. Four PSPA periods were considered: the teenage period (13–17 years), the period between 13 and 21 years, the adult period (21–27 years), and the total period (13–27 years). In multiple linear regression analyses, with body weight and gender as covariates, PSPA appeared to be a significant positive predictor for LBMD at age 27 in both males and females for all analyzed periods. The explained variance of PSPA for LBMD was the highest (25%) for the total period and the lowest (8%) for the teenage period.
