Article Synopsis
- The study examines long-term growth trends in children with Phenylketonuria (PKU) compared to healthy peers, focusing on their body mass index (BMI) and weight-for-length ratio.
- Results show that PKU children's median BMI z-scores were within the normal range, similar to controls, but their weight distributions were broader, particularly peaking around 3 years old.
- Despite comparable rates of overweight between the two groups, the higher prevalence of overweight in the general population raises concerns about the nutritional risks for PKU patients.
