Longitudinal analysis of anthropometric measures over 5 years in patients with Friedreich ataxia in the <scp>EFACTS</scp> natural history study
Significant anthropometric abnormalities were identified, with underweight and short stature prevalent in children and overweight in adults. These findings highlight the need for regular nutritional monitoring and interventions to manage underweight in children and promote healthy weight in adults.
