Abstract

This narrative review provides a significant contribution to the field of developmental disabilities by providing a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of the prevalence and patterns of malnutrition in individuals with cerebral palsy. The findings from this study shed light on the high prevalence of malnutrition and associated factors, such as motor impairment severity, functional limitations, feeding difficulties, and socio-demographic factors. By synthesizing the existing literature from global studies, this manuscript enhances our understanding of the complex relationship between malnutrition and cerebral palsy, providing valuable insights for clinicians, researchers, and policymakers. The comprehensive nature of this review, encompassing various continents and countries, helps to identify regional variations in malnutrition prevalence and highlights the need for targeted interventions and tailored nutritional care strategies for individuals with cerebral palsy worldwide.
