摘要
The prevalence of diseases associated with obesity, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus, is higher in the spinal cord injury (SCI) population. Specifically, the mortality rate for cardiovascular disease is 228% higher in the SCI population. In addition, 100% of SCI individuals have osteoporosis in the paralysed extremities. These diseases are related to physical activity level, the level of the spinal cord lesion, and time post injury. Physically active SCI men and women have above-average fat mass (16 to 24% and 24 to 32%, respectively, compared with 15% for able-bodied men and 23% for able-bodied women), while sedentary SCI individuals have ‘at-risk’ levels of body fat (above 25% and 32%, respectively).
