“…A similar result was found in the study conducted by Aquino and Cols (2014) that studied 46 Brazilian children and adolescents and observed that the prevalence of malnutrition was also different depending on the parameters used in nutritional status evaluation, with predominance of this when assessed by AMC. 19 Thus, the analysis of nutritional status by different indicators is Important for nutritional assessment and can detect malnutrition earlier because it evaluates growth, compartment composition and depletion of fat free mass (FFM). 20,21 In this study, it was shown that patients with BMI/age lower than the 10th percentile presented a shorter distance traveled in the 6MWT, evidencing functional impairment in those considered malnourished.…”

Objective: To describe the prevalence of malnutrition in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis (CF) at a reference center and to investigate the association between nutritional status, muscular strength and functional capacity in these individuals.Method: Cross-sectional, observational and descriptive study. Malnutrition was defined according to body mass index (BMI) for age, height for age and arm muscle circumference (AMC) percentile. Manovacuometry, dynamometry and the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) were used to evaluate the respiratory and hand grip strength and functional capacity, respectively.Result: A total of 57 patients, aged 13.26±3.1 years, 42.1% of the male gender were evaluated. When evaluating BMI/age, 59.6% of the patients presented nutritional risk and 22.8% were malnourished. Regarding height/age, 15.8% presented short stature for age and according to AMC, 66.7% of the sample showed to be nourished. In the analysis of the association of nutritional status with muscular strength and functional capacity, only a significant difference was observed between nourished and malnourished when nutritional status was evaluated by BMI/age. When comparing the distance walked in 6MWT, hand grip strength, maximum inspiratory pressure and maximum expiratory pressure, according to the categories of the BMI/age percentile, the malnourished walked less distance in 6MWT as well as presented lower values of muscular strength. Conclusion:The impairment of nutritional status when assessed by the BMI/age index was associated with decreased functional capacity and upper limb muscle strength in children and adolescents with CF.
