Objective To explore the relationship between the nutritional status and the type,class and severity of paralysis in children with cerebral palsy and investigate the causes of malnutrition in these children. Methods The body weight and the skinfold thickness were employed as the measure for assessing the nutritional status of the 625 cases of cerebral palsy. Results The rate of occurence of malnutrition in the 625 children was 7.52%. In children with athetotic syndrome and those with severe symptoms of cerebral palsy, the prevalence of malnutrition was much higher than that of the other cerebral palsied ones. Conclusion Malnutrition of children with cerebral palsy may be closely related with such problems as over consumption of energy, dysphagia, and poor appetite existing in them.
