发育性协调障碍(DCD)的特点是笨拙和协调困难。从童年到青春期到成年，DCD会干扰学习成绩和参与体育活动和心理社会功能，如自尊、认知或情感。DCD是一种常见的儿科疾病，据估计其全球患病率为6%。虽然有英文问卷，但没有问卷来确定DCD在日本的情况，因此，没有关于其流行情况的信息。最近，我们开发了日语版的发展协调障碍问卷(DCDQ-J)。本研究的目的是描述DCDQ-J在日本社区儿童群体中的适用性，并调查协调与注意缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)倾向或智力之间的关系。DCDQ-J由6330名儿童和青少年的父母或监护人完成。采用ADHD评定量表，测定儿童智商(IQ)。双因素方差分析显示，在运动控制和精细运动两个子量表上，得分随年级的提高呈线性增长。与之相比，一般协调分量表的得分呈现出非线性变化。DCDQ-J总分与ADHD-RS总分显著相关，而DCDQ-J总分与智商无相关性。DCDQ-J有望成为一种有用的筛查工具，用于识别和评估日本儿童的运动协调困难，并进行跨文化比较。(C)2011爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is characterized by clumsiness and coordination difficulties. DCD interferes with academic performance and participation in physical activities and psychosocial functions, such as self-esteem, cognition, or emotion, from childhood through adolescence to adulthood. DCD is a common pediatric condition and its prevalence is estimated to be 6% worldwide. Although English questionnaires are available, there is no questionnaire to identify DCD in Japan, and therefore, no information on its prevalence is available. Recently, we developed the Japanese version of the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ-J). The purpose of this study was to describe the applicability of the DCDQ-J for use with a community-based population of children in Japan and to investigate the relationships between coordination and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) tendencies or intelligence. The DCDQ-J was completed by 6330 parents or guardians of children and adolescents. We employed the ADHD-rating scale and determined the intelligence quotient (IQ) of the children. Two-way analysis of variance showed that the scores linearly increased as the children's grades advanced in 2 subscales, namely, control during movement and fine motor. In contrast, non-linear changes were found in the scores of the general coordination subscale. The total scores of the DCDQ-J and ADHD-RS were significantly correlated, but no relationship between DCDQ-J scores and IQ was found. The DCDQ-J is expected to be a useful screening tool to identify and assess motor coordination difficulties of children in Japan and enable cross-cultural comparisons. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
