ABSTRACT

Objective: to determine the prevalence of malnutrition in children suffering cleft palate-associated cleft lip.
Methods: a cross-sectional descriptive study. The sample was made up of eighty six 1-15 years-old patients who had been seen at "Hermanos Cordove" pediatric hospital located in Manzanillo, Cuba from 1995 to 2010.
Results: moderate malnutrition status prevailed and the highest indexes were observed in the smallest age group.
Conclusions: malnutrition prevalence in this group was lower than that found in other samples from "normal" child populations.
