背景：发育性协调障碍（DCD）影响高达6%的人口，并根据运动协调性差进行诊断。虽然我们对它的终身后果知之甚少，但对大多数人来说，在整个生命周期中仍然存在明显和重大的困难。减少体力活动，并在运动领域之外，显着的心理健康问题存在许多与DCD.Aims：这项研究提供了第一次调查的存在情绪障碍的成人DCD.Method：焦虑和抑郁的症状进行了评估，使用贝克抑郁症和斯皮尔伯格焦虑量表在36名成年人以前诊断为DCD与49年龄和性别匹配的典型对照。每周进行的体力活动的数量和类型也reported.Results：控制后，他们每周的体力活动水平降低，与DCD组报告抑郁症，状态和特质焦虑的症状显着多于他们的peer.Conclusions：这一发现有重要意义的干预措施，在DCD的考虑，以及调查的风险和保护因素在发挥长期的结果。最后，研究结果强调了需要意识到运动困难，在那些呈现高水平的焦虑和抑郁，反之亦然。
Background: Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) affects up to 6% of the population and is diagnosed on the basis of poor motor coordination. While we know rather little about its lifetime consequences, clear and significant difficulties remain through the lifespan for the majority. Reduced physical activity and, outside of the motor domain, significant mental health issues exist for many with DCD.Aims: This study provides the first investigation of the presence of mood disorders in adults with DCD.Method: Symptoms of anxiety and depression were assessed using the Beck Depression and Spielberger Anxiety Inventories in 36 adults previously diagnosed with DCD vs. 49 age- and gender-matched typical controls. Amount and type of physical activity undertaken each week were also reported.Results: After controlling for their reduced level of weekly physical activity, the group with DCD reported significantly more symptoms of depression, state and trait anxiety than their peers.Conclusions: This finding has important implications for consideration of intervention in DCD, as well as for investigation of the risk and protective factors at play in long-term outcome. Finally, the findings highlight the need for awareness of motor difficulties in those presenting with high levels of anxiety and depression, and vice versa.
