Obesity in Patients with Craniopharyngioma: Assessment of Food Intake and Movement Counts Indicating Physical Activity
Abstract
Patients with childhood-onset craniopharyngioma (CP) often suffer from obesity. We evaluated two important etiological factors of obesity development, energy intake and physical activity. Energy intake was supposed to be high due to a disturbed hypothalamic regulation of appetite. We used a validated nutritional diary to determine the 1-wk food intake in 27 CP patients (12 with intrasellar tumors and 15 with hypothalamic tumors) and 1027 controls who were a representative sample of the 7- to 16-yr-old German population. In 2 accelerometry settings, we determined movement counts indicating physical activity. Nineteen CP patients were comparable to 26 controls for age and body mass index. One setting was a clinical one during weight reduction; the other was an out-patient setting. Daily energy intake was 1916 +/- 677 kcal (mean +/- SD) in intrasellar CP patients, 2075 +/- 877 kcal in hypothalamic CP patients, and 2476 +/- 815 kcal in non-CP controls. Patients suffering from CP showed fewer movement registrations [clinical setting, 228 vs. 298 cpm for obese controls (P = 0.01); out-patient setting, 228 vs. 282 cpm for controls (P = 0.08)]. Differences were most pronounced during leisure time (382 cpm in CP patients vs. 546 cpm in obese controls; P = 0.002; clinical setting). Our findings suggest that reduced physical activity, rather than increased energy intake, in CP patients is responsible for the obesity development noted in these subjects.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
