Article Synopsis
- The study focused on how dietary issues and gastrointestinal problems affect the nutrition of children and young adults (ages 2-19) with cerebral palsy (CP) in Córdoba, Argentina.
- It used data from 105 individuals to analyze their nutritional status, finding that those who depend on caregivers for feeding and require changes in food consistency are significantly more likely to be undernourished.
- The research concluded that conditions like dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and constipation are related to poorer nutrition, emphasizing the need for tailored nutritional strategies for these children.
Background & Aims: In children with Cerebral palsy (CP) bone deformities create a difficulty in the collection of height measures by direct methods. Body segments are an alternative to study for anthropometric evaluation in children with CP. Motor compromise affects growth in these children.

Introduction: Motor compromise characterizes cerebral palsy (CP), and is often associated with intellectual disability (ID). Standardized classification systems have been developed to describe the functions of people with CP. The aim was to functionally characterize children and adolescents aged 0 to 18 years with CP in Argentina and to investigate the association between motor compromise (GMFCS), ID and functional classifications.

Introduction: Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the leading causes of childhood disability globally with a high burden in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). Preliminary findings from the global LMIC CP Register (GLM CPR) suggest that the majority of CP in LMICs are due to potentially preventable causes. Such data are lacking in the Latin American region.
