ABSTRACT
An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was performed with the aim of identifying some epidemiological characteristics of cystic fibrosis and to characterize the nutritional status of children who suffer from this disease. The study sample consisted of 21 patients, and comprised all those who attended and were diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at the «José Luis Miranda» Pediatric Teaching Hospital during 2009 - 2010. The average age was 13.24 years, most patients were male and there was a strong presence of df 508 mutation. Normal ranges of weight percentile for age and height for age, prevailed, however, once we analized the Z score of body mass index we realized that severe and moderate malnutrition prevailed over the other stages. Statistics showed that 61,9 % of patients were malnourished.REFERENCES
