To determine the pattern of body composition and nutritional status in a group of prepubertal children with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy (SQCP) compared with healthy control children.
Subjects were enrolled for this cross-sectional study from two tertiary care settings. One hundred thirty-six subjects with SQCP, 2 to 12 years of age, were evaluated by anthropometric measures, or by anthropometric and total body water (TBW) measures (n = 28), with 39 control subjects.
Body composition and nutritional status indicators were significantly reduced in children with SQCP. Accretion of fat-free mass with age was smaller for children with SQCP. Calculation of body fat from two skin folds correlated best with measures of fat mass from TBW.
Malnutrition is common in children with SQCP. Clinically available, serial anthropometric measures enable the clinician to identify malnourished children with SQCP.
确定一组痉挛性四肢瘫脑瘫（SQCP）青春期前儿童与健康对照儿童相比的身体成分模式和营养状况。
本横断面研究的受试者来自两个三级医疗机构。对136名2至12岁的SQCP受试者进行了人体测量，或人体测量和全身水（TBW）测量（n = 28），并与39名对照受试者进行了比较。
SQCP儿童的身体成分和营养状况指标显著降低。SQCP儿童无脂肪量随年龄的增长较小。通过两个皮褶计算身体脂肪与TBW测量的脂肪量指标相关性最好。
营养不良在SQCP儿童中很常见。临床可用的系列人体测量方法使临床医生能够识别出患有SQCP的营养不良儿童。
