Popis: | Growth hormone (GH) and Insulin Growth Factor type I (IGF-I) are peptides that act strongly on structural biosynthesis and on phenotypic parameters such as weight, height, Body Mass Index (BMI), as well as anatomical proportionality . The maintenance of proprioceptive integrity: vestibular, somatosensory, visual and auditory system, when intact and associated with the mentioned characteristics, become important factors for the maintenance of postural balance. This is a cross-sectional, analytical and observational study where the objective was to evaluate anthropometry, body balance and risk of falls in individuals with a specific mutation at the GHRH gene receptor. Sixty individuals, matched by sex, age, IPAQ and BMI, were divided into two groups: Deficiency of GH (DIGH) n: 30 (15 men / 15 women) and Control, residing in Itabaianinha, 40 (20 men / 20 women) with age (46.5 ± 12.4 vs. 43.2 ± 11.2 a), weight (38.0 ± 6.9 vs. 66.6 ± 10.7 kg), height (125.5 ± 7.6 vs. 166.0 ± 10.3 cm), standard deviation of height (SDS height) (-8.6 ± 1.3 vs. -0.3 ± 1.5 H / a), BSA (1.1 ± 0.1 vs. 1.7 ± 0.1 m2), BMI (23.4 ± 3.4 vs. 24.1 ± 2.8 KG / m2). The static balance was evaluated through the force platform apparatus and the risk of falls by the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test. Statistically, to compare the groups, we used the Student's t test with 95% confidence interval and p value |
