Limited scientific research on Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) in Uzbekistan primarily focuses on preschoolers. This study aims to analyze DCD prevalence in Uzbekistan adolescents, exploring gender differences. The research, crucial for informing intervention programs, involved 267 participants (50.6% female, 49.4% male) aged 11–16 from Khorezm schools. The Movement Assessment Battery for Children-MABC-2 was used, covering manual dexterity, aiming, catching, and balance. A one-proportion z-test assessed overall DCD prevalence, revealing 13.9% probable DCD, 15.4% at risk, and 70.8% without DCD, with no significant between probable and at-risk DCD. In probable DCD, females (70.3%) outnumbered males (29.7%) significantly. This study’s DCD prevalence (29.3%) surpasses DSM-5’s 5–6%, underscoring the need for more comprehensive studies across age groups and countries. The higher prevalence of females with probable DCD challenges consensus on gender-related DCD incidence. This research sheds light on the underexplored landscape of adolescent DCD in Uzbekistan and underscores the necessity for nuanced, cross-cultural examinations of DCD prevalence and gender dynamics.

摘要

Limited scientific research on Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) in Uzbekistan primarily focuses on preschoolers. This study aims to analyze DCD prevalence in Uzbekistan adolescents, exploring gender differences. The research, crucial for informing intervention programs, involved 267 participants (50.6% female, 49.4% male) aged 11–16 from Khorezm schools. The Movement Assessment Battery for Children-MABC-2 was used, covering manual dexterity, aiming, catching, and balance. A one-proportion z-test assessed overall DCD prevalence, revealing 13.9% probable DCD, 15.4% at risk, and 70.8% without DCD, with no significant between probable and at-risk DCD. In probable DCD, females (70.3%) outnumbered males (29.7%) significantly. This study’s DCD prevalence (29.3%) surpasses DSM-5’s 5–6%, underscoring the need for more comprehensive studies across age groups and countries. The higher prevalence of females with probable DCD challenges consensus on gender-related DCD incidence. This research sheds light on the underexplored landscape of adolescent DCD in Uzbekistan and underscores the necessity for nuanced, cross-cultural examinations of DCD prevalence and gender dynamics.
