Abstract
Introduction: Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by poor motor skills leading to a significant impairment in activities of daily living. Children with DCD were less fit and more likely to be obese compared to typically developing (TD) children. Previous studies have reported that obesity may be associated with poor motor coordination ability and particularly in relation to balance ability. The purpose of this study was to compare the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children with DCD and balance problems (DCD-BP), children with DCD and no balance problems (DCD-no BP), and TD children.
