Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) have reduced cardiorespiratory fitness and often exhibit different anthropometrics compared with the general population. Interestingly, the relation between anthropometry and cardiorespiratory fitness found in the general population is not apparent in individuals with DS. However, accurate measures with dual energy X\u2010ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan have not been used to investigate this relationship in this population. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the relationship between accurate measures of anthropometry and cardiorespiratory fitness in adults with DS compared with an age\u2010matched and sex\u2010matched control group.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Anthropometrics (height, weight, waist and hip circumference, body composition via DEXA) and cardiorespiratory fitness (VO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>peak, measured during a graded maximal exercise test) were assessed in adults with (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a09; 25\u00a0\u00b1\u00a03\u00a0years; 6 male patients) and without DS (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a010, 24\u00a0\u00b1\u00a04\u00a0years; 5 male patients).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Participants with DS were shorter (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.01) than without DS and had a higher body mass index (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.01), waist circumference (WC) (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.026) and waist\/height ratio (WHtR) (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.01), but similar weight, body surface area (BSA), waist\/hip ratio and body composition (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&gt;\u00a00.05).
