摘要：

Objective: 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. Study design: Subjects were enrolled for this cross-sectional study from two tertiary ca re settings, One hundred thirty-six subjects with SQCP, 2 to 12 yea rs of age, were evaluated by anthropometric measures, or by anthropometric and total body water (TBW) measures (n = 28), with 39 control subjects. Results: 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. Conclusion: Malnutrition is common in children with SQCP. Clinically available, serial anthropometric measures enable the clinician to identify malnourished children with SQCP.
