Cerebral palsy is the most common type of physical disability impacting on 1 in 500 children, with lifetime costs of $2m and up to 40% may have restricted growth and nutrition. We aim to follow a cohort of 240 young children with Cerebral Palsy from 18 mths to 5 years to monitor their growth, nutrition, habitual activity, body composition and relate this to comprehensive health outcomes and costs. Better knowledge of these factors will enable nutritional and medical care to be better focused.

脑瘫是最常见的身体残疾类型，影响到每500名儿童中就有1名，终身成本为200万美元，高达40%的儿童可能会受到生长和营养限制。我们的目标是跟踪一组240名18个月至5岁的脑瘫幼儿，监测他们的生长、营养、习惯活动、身体成分，并将其与综合健康结果和成本联系起来。更好地了解这些因素将使营养和医疗保健更有重点。
