Brief Summary

The goal of this study was to find prevalence and correlations of different weight abnormalities and risk of abdominal obesity in a random sample of Egyptian children suffering from cerebral palsy. This cross- sectional study hypothesize the prevalence of weight abnormalities and risk of abdominal obesity in addition to positive correlations between weight abnormalities and number of exercise hours and frequency of meals in a random sample of Egyptian children suffering from cerebral palsy RESEARCH QUESTION:

1. 1.What is the prevalence of weight abnormalities and and risk of abdominal obesity in Egyptian children with cerebral palsy?
2. 2.Does the weight abnormalities correlates with number of exercise hours or frequency of meals in children with cerebral palsy?
