Introduction:
Several literature reports have demonstrated that cardiovascular disease is one of the most frequent pathologies in patients with spinal cord injury.
Aim:
The aim of this study is to reveal changes in the lipid profile in non-obese children with spina bifida/myelomeningocele (MMC).
Discussion:
The original results demonstrate the necessity of metabolic surveillance in these patients. Daily physical activity must be ensured early on frequency in non-able-bodied children in order to prevent changes in seric lipoproteins.
