Abstract

To evaluate the body fat distribution in children with cerebral palsy (CP). The present study focusses on a monocentric retrospective analysis of body fat distribution from children diagnosed with CP. The children par-ticipated in a rehabilitation program. Reference centiles were calculated based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 1999-2004). Z-scores for trunk-to-leg fat ratio were calculated. Further, fat mass index (FMI) was evaluated based on percentiles that have already been pub-lished. 237 males and 194 females with CP were considered (mean age: 11 years and 11 months [SD 3 years]). These were compared to 1059 males and 796 females from the NHANES (mean age: 14 years and 7 months [SD 3 years and 4 months]). The z-scores for trunk-to-leg fat ratio showed the following values: mean-0.47 (SD 1.50) for males,-0.49 (SD 1.11), for females,-0.48 (SD 1.34) for all. The z-scores for FMI showed the fol-lowing values: mean-0.29 (SD 0.70) for males,-0.88 (SD 2.0) for females,-0.55 (SD 1.46) for all. The results showed rather a gynoid fat distribution and a lower FMI in children with CP than in the reference population (NHANES 1999-2004).
