Abstract

By adulthood, most males with fragile X syndrome (FXS) require support to navigate day-to-day settings. The present study cross-sectionally: (1) characterized the profile of daily living skills in males with FXS and (2) examined associated participant characteristics (i.e., fragile X mental retardation protein [FMRP] expression, nonverbal cognition, language, autism symptomatology, and anxiety symptomatology) using the Waisman-Activities of Daily Living questionnaire. Males with FXS (n = 57, ages 15-23 years) needed more help/support in the areas of domestic and community daily livings skills, than in the area of personal daily living skills. Significant associations were observed between reduced daily living skills and lower nonverbal cognition, receptive language, expressive language, and increased autism symptomatology. Receptive language emerged as the strongest unique predictor of daily living skill performance.

青少年和年轻成年男性脆性X综合征的日常生活技能。

成年后，大多数患有脆性X染色体综合征(FXS)的男性需要支持来应对日常环境。本研究采用横截面法:(1)分析了FXS男性患者的日常生活技能特征;(2)采用Waisman-Activities of daily living questionnaire调查了相关的参与者特征(即脆性X智力迟钝蛋白[FMRP]表达、非语言认知、语言、自闭症症状学和焦虑症状学)。患有FXS的男性(n = 57，年龄15-23岁)在家庭和社区日常生活技能方面比在个人日常生活技能方面需要更多的帮助/支持。日常生活技能下降与非语言认知、接受性语言、表达性语言和自闭症症状增加之间存在显著关联。接受性语言成为日常生活技能表现的最强独特预测指标。
