| Popis: | Aim: We investigated food intake, weight and body composition evaluation in children with cerebral palsy. Method: A case - series study was conducted involving 53 children with mild to moderate motor impairment. Food intake was estimated and bioimpedance was used to determine body composition, with the calculation of the free fat mass index and fat mass index (FMI). The anthropometric profile was determined using z-scores of the following indices: height-for-age (zH/A), weight-for-age (zW/A) and body mass index-for-age (zBMI/A). Results: Height deficit was found in 7.5% of the children. Excess weight was found in 20.8% (zW/A) and 30.2% (zBMI/A). The prevalence of underweight was 7.5% (zW/A) and 5.7% (zBMI/A). Excess fat mass was found in 77.4%. No associations were found between excess fat mass or fat-free mass and excess weight or calorie intake. Height was positively correlated with age, mobility and zH/A. FMI was positively correlated with age and height. Lipid intake was positively correlated with age, height and FMI. Conclusion : The nutritional status and food intake of the children analyzed in the study was similar to that of children without neurological disease, possibly due to the lower degree of motor impairment. |
