Abstract

No studies have directly measured body protein or validated skinfold-thickness anthropometry and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to assess body protein in children with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy (SQCP). We aimed to measure and evaluate body protein and to determine whether skinfold-thickness anthropometry and DXA can predict body protein in children with SQCP. This was a cross-sectional study of 59 children (22 girls, 37 boys) aged 3.9-19.5 y with SQCP. The children underwent measurements of anthropometric indexes, lean tissue mass by DXA (LTM(DXA)), and total body protein by neutron activation analysis (TBP(NAA)). In addition, TBP was estimated from both skinfold-thickness anthropometry (TBP(SKIN)) and DXA (TBP(DXA)). The agreement of TBP(SKIN) and TBP(DXA) was tested against TBP(NAA) by using Bland and Altman plot analysis. Height and weight SD scores (x +/- SD: -3.1 +/- 1.6 and -4.8 +/- 5.3, respectively) were significantly lower than reference data in the children with SQCP (P < 0.001). TBP(NAA) for age and height was low in the children with SQCP (P < 0.001): 56.1 +/- 17.3% and 81.5 +/- 15.7%, respectively, of the values predicted from control data. TBP(SKIN) and TBP(DXA) were both highly correlated with T...Continue Reading

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
