Many studies have reported that overweight and obesity are prevalent among children and adolescents with hemophilia and correlate these findings with physical activity. What about underweight and wasting in these patients. I would be grateful if you can supply me with papers with such findings
Initially, weight gain or loss is more than performing physical activities. It's a multifactorial phenomenon.
