ABSTRACT
An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study, of 19 patients with cystic fibrosis, assisted in the out-patient department of "Hermanos Cordové" Teaching Pediatric Hospital in Manzanillo, Granma was carried out during the semester of July- December, 2012, with the objective of identifying the nutritional state in them starting from the anthropometric evaluation -- for which the Waterlow score was calculated --, and then to relate it with the genetic mutation. Among the results of the series it was observed that 73.7% of the patients had adequate weight and size for the age, while 31.5% was evaluated as undernourished. Also, there was relation between the nutritional state and the genetic mutation, and it was concluded that most of the affected patients had an appropriate nutritional evaluation, as consequence of a correct multidisciplinary care.REFERENCES
