The Relationship Between Body Mass Index and Gross Motor Development in Children Aged 3 to 5 Years

The objective of the study was to compare and relate motor behavior in relation to body mass index (BMI) and sex in children aged 6 to 10 years in Viña del Mar, Chile. 221 students participated (girls, n=102; boys, n=119) with an average age of 7.55 ± 1.31 years. Motor behavior was determined and classified with the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-2). The body mass index (BMI) was calculated based on the ratio between weight and height (expressed in W/H2). The nutritional status was determined using the indicators of the Ministry of Health of Chile, which are based on international standards for nutritional evaluation of children and adolescents from 5 to 19 years of age. For result analyses, the sample was divided into two groups (low-normal-weight and overweight-obese) with a confidence interval of 95% (p < 0.05) for comparison between the groups. It was shown that low and normal body mass index boys had better locomotion (p = 0.026) and object control (p = 0.045) in relation to overweight and obese boys. The female sex presented no differences between groups. Amongst boys, BMI is negatively related to motor quotient (p = 0.001), while in girls, no relationship was observed. In terms of gross motor development, low-weight and normal-weight boys are more likely to have a better gross motor development than overweight and obese boys, though not the case in girls. It is concluded that overweight and obese boys have a lower motor skill than normal and low boys.

Gross Motor Development

Abstract Background Evidence supports an inverse relationship between weight status and motor competence, but most work utilizes body mass index as the proxy for weight status. Body mass index fails to account for essential components of body composition, which may be critical for motor performance. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the relationship between fundamental motor skills competency and body composition (i.e., fat mass, fat percentage, and fatfree mass) as measured by bio-electrical impedance analysis and body mass index in children. Methods Two hundred forty-four children from the Southeastern portion of the United States participated in this project (6.05 ± 2.01 years, 53.3% male). Fundamental motor skills were measured using the Test of Gross Motor Development – 2nd edition and body composition was assessed with the Tanita SC-331S Body Composition Analyzer (bio-electrical impedance analysis). Body mass index was calculated using CDC normative growth charts. Results Bio-electrical impedance analysis measures accounted for 23.1%, F(3, 241) = 24.10, p < .001 and 2.7%, F(3, 241) = 2.22, p = .086 variance in locomotor and object control subscales, respectively; body mass index accounted for 8.4% (locomotor) and 0.1% (object control) variance. For the Test of Gross Motor Development -2nd edition total score, bio-electrical impedance analysis measures accounted for 24.4% F(3, 241) = 25.90, p < .001 compared to body mass index which accounted for 7.9% F(1, 244) = 20.86, p < .001 of the variance. Only fat free mass (p < .001) was a significant predictor for locomotor skills and total models for the Test of Gross Motor Development – 2nd edition; BMI was also a significant predictor (p < .001) in both the locomotor and total models. Conclusions Different components of body composition (i.e., fat free mass) were associated with different aspects of fundamental motor skills competency. Excess body fat may be a morphological constraint to proficient locomotor performance when transporting the body through space. In contrast, body composition did not significantly predict object manipulation performance. More work is needed to understand the causality and directionality of this relationship; however, bio-electrical impedance analysis accounts for more variance in fundamental motor skills performance than body mass index in a field-based setting.

The Relationship

Motor development is a development that controls body movements by involving coordination between the nervous system, central nerve and muscle. Activities related to gross motor development involve a mechanism that requires adequate energy and physical, so that nutritional status is one of the factors that influence gross motor development. TB / U is the most widely used index to determine nutritional status which is measured anthropometically related to gross motor development. This study aims to determine the relationship between nutritional status (TB / U) and gross motoric development of children. Observational type with cross sectional approach design The number of samples in this study were 92 children taken by random sampling. Nutritional status data were obtained by anthropometric measurements (TB / U) and categorized based on WHO Anthro 2005. Gross motor development data obtained using DDST were then categorized based on DDST assessment. In this study 40.2% short samples and 59% normal samples were found, 26.1% of samples had late gross motor development and 73.9% of samples were not late. The results of statistical tests showed a significant relationship between TB / U and gross motor development (p> 0.05). It is best to do therapy for children who experience gross motor development late to get developmental stimulation.

The Relationship

During growth and development, children need good nutrition that can produce energy. Less or more nutrition can interfere with processes in the body, where these processes have an impact on the child's development. One aspect of development that exists in children is the motoric aspect. Motor development in the form of a child's growth and development abilities. Gross motor in the form of body movements that use large muscles or most or all members of the body that are affected by the child's maturity. This study aims to determine the relationship of nutritional status with gross motor development in TK IT Rabbani Batam students in 2019. This research method is observational analytic using a cross-sectional design conducted at TK IT Rabbani Batam. The sampling technique is total sampling with a sample of 54 people. Data collection using measurements of height, weight, and assessment of gross motor development using the DDST II sheet. Data analysis using the Spearman Rank statistical test. There were 2 children with underweight nutritional status consisting of 1 child (50%) with untestable/abnormal gross motor development and 1 child (50%) suspect. There are 38 children with normal nutritional status consisting of 3 children (7.9%) with untestable/abnormal gross motor development, 5 children (13.2%) suspect and 30 children (78.9%) normal. There are 14 children with obesity-obesity nutritional status consisting of 1 child (7.1%) with suspect gross motor development, 13 children (92.9%) normal. Statistical test results of the relationship of Nutrition Status with Gross Motor Development get p-value 0.025. There is a significant relationship between nutritional status and gross motor development in kindergarten IT Rabbani Batam students in 2019.
