Abstract
Background: To date, research on the natural history of hyperphagia, weight gain and health outcomes in individuals with Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) has been limited. Understanding these characteristics is important for disease burden management.
Objectives: The international Clinical Registry Investigating BBS (CRIBBS) is a registry of individuals with BBS to investigate the severity of hyperphagia, the natural history of weight gain and the frequency of obesity-associated health outcomes in paediatric individuals with BBS.
Methods: Paediatric participants (<18 years of age) enrolled in CRIBBS were evaluated to assess weight and weight loss interventions, hyperphagia and the frequency of cardiac, endocrine/diabetic and renal health outcomes.
Results: Of 331 children, 81.0% had obesity at baseline and 22.7% reported use of weight loss diet or medication at baseline or later. Among participants with ≥2 weight measurements ≥2 years apart (n = 186), 17.2% had a higher weight classification from the first to the last assessment. Increasing hyperphagia severity was associated with increasing obesity. The prevalence of cardiac, diabetic, endocrine and renal health outcomes increased with obesity class.
Conclusion: Hyperphagia and obesity are highly prevalent in children with BBS. Many children with BBS also experience adverse health outcomes. Timely diagnosis and targeted treatment of hyperphagia and obesity are needed.
期刊介绍:
Pediatric Obesity is a peer-reviewed, monthly journal devoted to research into obesity during childhood and adolescence. The topic is currently at the centre of intense interest in the scientific community, and is of increasing concern to health policy-makers and the public at large.
Pediatric Obesity has established itself as the leading journal for high quality papers in this field, including, but not limited to, the following:
Genetic, molecular, biochemical and physiological aspects of obesity – basic, applied and clinical studies relating to mechanisms of the development of obesity throughout the life course and the consequent effects of obesity on health outcomes
Metabolic consequences of child and adolescent obesity
Epidemiological and population-based studies of child and adolescent overweight and obesity
Measurement and diagnostic issues in assessing child and adolescent adiposity, physical activity and nutrition
Clinical management of children and adolescents with obesity including studies of treatment and prevention
Co-morbidities linked to child and adolescent obesity – mechanisms, assessment, and treatment
Life-cycle factors eg familial, intrauterine and developmental aspects of child and adolescent obesity
Nutrition security and the "double burden" of obesity and malnutrition
Health promotion strategies around the issues of obesity, nutrition and physical activity in children and adolescents
Community and public health measures to prevent overweight and obesity in children and adolescents.
