Obesity and Sarcopenia in Survivors of Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
OBJECTIVE: To describe the prevalence of obesity and sarcopenia among survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) using DEXA scan, and study associated risk factors. METHODS: This case control study was conducted between July, 2013 and June, 2014 at a tertiary care cancer centre in Ind...

description | OBJECTIVE: To describe the prevalence of obesity and sarcopenia among survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) using DEXA scan, and study associated risk factors. METHODS: This case control study was conducted between July, 2013 and June, 2014 at a tertiary care cancer centre in India. Study participants included 65 survivors of childhood ALL who were <18 years of age at diagnosis, treated between years 1996 and 2008, and were at least two years since completion of therapy. The controls included 50 matched siblings. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) was used to study the body composition (body fat percentage, BF% and lean body mass, LBM) of the participants and controls. McCarthys body fat reference data were applied and logistic regression analysis was used to study various risk factors. RESULTS: At a median (range) follow-up of 5 (7.217.2) years, BF% (DEXA) identified a significantly higher prevalence of obesity of 21.5% (14/65) and sarcopenic obesity (14%) among survivors as compared to the controls (0/50, P<0.001), while the prevalence of sarcopenia as detected by LBM was similar at 60% (39/65) and 56% (28/50), respectively. On multivariate analysis, age at evaluation, high-risk disease and cranial irradiation were independently associated with high likelihood of obesity, while none of the factors predicted sarcopenia. CONCLUSION: High prevalence of obesity and sarcopenic obesity were observed among survivors of childhood ALL. |
