BACKGROUND
Body mass index (BMI) is currently emphasized for evaluating nutritional status in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). Weight for age (WFA) and height for age (HFA) may get less attention.
METHODS
Data from the Epidemiologic Study of Cystic Fibrosis were used to compare patient WFA, HFA, and BMI percentiles for children age 2 to 18years.
RESULTS
For children with BMI between the 25th and 50th percentiles, 16.8% had WFA <10th percentile and 26.6% had HFA <10th percentile.
CONCLUSIONS
BMI fails to identify a substantial proportion of children with CF who have stunting or potentially poor nutritional status as measured by WFA and/or HFA.
背景
目前强调使用体重指数（BMI）来评估囊性纤维化（CF）患儿的营养状况。年龄别体重（WFA）和年龄别身高（HFA）可能较少受到关注。
方法
囊性纤维化流行病学研究的数据用于比较2至18岁儿童的WFA、HFA和BMI百分位数。
结果
BMI在第25至50百分位数之间的儿童中，16.8%的WFA<第10百分位数，26.6%的HFA<第10百分位数。
结论
BMI未能识别出相当一部分CF患儿，这些患儿经WFA和/或HFA测量存在发育迟缓或潜在的营养不良状况。
