We conducted a longitudinal study to assess the continuing influence of
developmental coordination disorder (DCD) on quality of life and participation.
Ninety-six participants (25 in the DCD group, 30 in the borderline group, and 41
in the control group) ages 22-29 yr who had been screened for DCD 3-4 yr
previously completed the Participation in Every Day Activities of Life, the
Life-Satisfaction Questionnaire, and the World Health Organization Quality of
Life (WHOQOL-BREF) instrument. Multivariate analysis of variance revealed a
significant between-groups difference, F(7, 95) = 2.89,
p = .001, eta = 0.173,
and post hoc analyses revealed that participants in the DCD and borderline groups
scored lower overall on participation, quality of life, and life satisfaction.
Linear regression found the Psychological Health domain of the WHOQOL-BREF to be
a significant predictor of life satisfaction (B = 0.533; p = .001).
