Objective: To evaluate food ingestion, the nutritional state and the prevalence of anemia by iron deficiency and the digestive disturbs in children with cerebral palsy. Methods: A study realized with 40 children with a maximum age of 10 years who suffer from cerebral palsy. A 24-hour food intake register and anthropometric evaluation were realized, the blood sample was collected by punction of a peripherical vein and the register of specific clinical data for the diagnostic of the digestive disturbs. Results: The results found guarantee the necessity to make a personal dietetic evaluation. In only 3 (7,5%) children the diagnostics revealed a mild anemia. Regarding the nutritional state, it was observed a more accentuated deficit in males by height-age. From 40 patients 45% (n=18) and 40% (n=16) of the sample it was observed a more acute malnutrition. Dysphagia evidences were found in 82,5% of the sample, suggestive signals of gastroesophageal reflow in 40,0% and intestinal constipation in 60,0% of the studied patients. Patients with a dysphagia evidence presented a smaller liquid intake (483,1±294,9 versus 992,9±292,2; p=0.001). The children with constipation, in relation to the ones without constipation presented less fiber intake (9,2 ± 4,3 versus 12,3 ± 4,3; p=0,031) and less liquid intake (456,5 ± 283,1versus 741,1 ± 379,2; p=0,013). Conclusions: Children with cerebral palsy can present an elevated prevalence of anthropometric deficits and digestive disturbs. Nutrient deficits in food intake can be a risk to start developing nutritional disturbs demanding a personal dietetic evaluation. |
