“…Per cent body fat was computed from the four skinfold measurements using equations for prepubertal children (Brook 1971) and for children at pubertal stage two or more (Durnin and Rahaman 1967). Upper-arm muscle area (muscle area) and its per cent median were computed as an indicator of fat-free mass (Frisancho 1990), where muscle area = !upper arm circumference-[triceps skinfold…”

“…Muscle area, an indicator of muscle mass, and per cent body fat, an indicator of subcutaneous adipose tissue stores and caloric adequacy, were used to evaluate nutritional status. The use of muscle area is well established as an indicator of the nutritional status of non-obese individuals (Frisancho 1990). Per cent body fat rather than an individual skinfold measurement was selected because of the difference between fat patterning and rate of fat depletion at different sites, and because use of body fat equations allowed maximum use of information about body fatness measured (four sites).…”

SUMMARY Growth failure and nutritional status were evaluated in 141 children with quadriplegic cerebral palsy, aged between two and 18 years. Linear growth was assessed by upper‐arm and lower‐leg lengths: both means were significantly reduced. Mean bodyweight and triceps skinfold thickness fat stores were reduced to 65 per cent medians and subscapular skinfold fat stores to 81 per cent median. Muscle stores were the most preserved and reduced to 88 per cent median. Examination of the sample by age‐group showed significant reductions in growth and nutrition status indicators, even at two to four years, except for muscle area. TO determine the degree to which nutritional status affected linear growth, a set of two‐step regression analyses was conducted. The linear growth measures were significantly correlated with the measures of nutritional status. RÉSUMÉ Défaur de croissance d'origine alintentaire chet les en fants présentant une forme tétraplegique’ d ‘IMC Le défaut de croissance et létat nutritional ont Aeté appréciés chez 142 enfants presentant une forme tétraplégique d'IMC, Pges de deux à 18 ans. La taille (croissance linéaire) fut déduite des longueurs du bras et de la jambe: les deux moyennes étaient significativement basses. Le poids total moyen et I‘épaisseur moyenne du pli cutané au triceps (appréciant la charge en graisse) étaient réduits à 65 pour cent du médian et le pli cutané sous scapulaire à 81 pour cent du médian. La masse musculaire était la mieux préservée, réduite á 88 pour cent du médian. L'examen de I‘échantillon par groupe d'ǎges démontrait des rAeductions significatives de la croissance et des indicateurs de I‘état nutritional. měme entre deux et quatre ans, sauf pour la masse musculaire. Pour déterminer le degré selon lequel létat nutritional affectait la taille, un ensemble d'analyses de régression à deux échelons a étéétabli. Les mesures de la taille étaient significativement corrélées aux mesures de l‘état nutritionnel. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Ernährungsbedingte Wachstumsverzögerrrng bei Kindern mit Terraplegie Bei 142 Kindern im Alter zwischen zwei und 18 Jahren mit tetraplegischer Cerebralparese wurden Wachstumverzögerung und Ernährungszustand beurteilt. Das lineare Wachstum wurde anhand von Unterarm‐ und Unterschenkellängen bestimmt: beide Manβe waren signifikant vermindert. Das mittlere Körpergewicht und die Hautfattendicke über dem Triceps (Fettspeicher) waren im Mittel auf 65 Prozent und die subscapularen Hautfaltenfettspeicher auf 81 Prozent reduziert. Die Muskelspeicher waren am besten erhalten und im Mittel auf 88 Prozent reduziert. Die Untersuchung einzelner Altersgruppen zeigte selbst bei zweibis vier‐jáhrigen eine signifikante Reduktion der Parameter für Wachstum und Ernährung auβer im muskulären Bereich. Um festzustellen, in welchum Maβe der Ernährungszustand das lineare Wachstum beeinfluβte, wurden Regressionsanalysen durchgeführt. Das lineare Wachstum korrelierte signifikant mit dem Ernährungszustand. RESUMEN Deficiencia en el crecimiento en relaciön con la nutrició...

“…In general, these children were less severely malnourished for shorter periods than those studied in developing countries and there were little or no deficits in mental development (Berglund & Rabo, 1973;Lloyd-Still et al 1974;Valman, 1974;Ellis & Hill, 1975;Klein et al 1975).…”

“…These showed that malnutrition associated with disease in infancy and early childhood (pyloric stenosis, coeliac disease, fibrocystic disease, etc.) was not associated on the whole with any long-term effects on intellect or development (Berglund & Rabo, 1973;Lloyd-Still et al 1974;Valman, 1974;Ellis & Hill, 1975;Klein et al 1975;Beardslee et al 1982). Either malnutrition on its own in infancy and childhood had exerted no permanent irrecoverable deficit, or in the absence of other deprivations or the presence of a total balanced rehabilitation, its effect had been counteracted.…”
