Abstract:
Background: The management of Prader–Willi Syndrome (PWS) requires strict dietary supervision to prevent obesity, avoid micronutrient deficiencies and ensure optimal growth. The present study aimed to examine the growth and dietary intake of children with PWS. Methods: All children with genetically confirmed PWS attending Childrens Health Ireland (CHI) at Tallaght (n = 44) were invited to participate. Anthropometry was performed and body composition measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis. Three-day food diaries were used to evaluate dietary intake and the presence of early feeding issues was assessed. Serum haemoglobin, ferritin and vitamin D levels were measured.
Keywords:
