The patients were distributed according to the disease (110 male patients) (90 female patients) and primary information was collected (age, body composition, comorbidities), and the patients were classified according to the gross motor function classification system. (GMFCS). The study shows that there is an increased risk for patients with ischaemic heart disease in the mortality of cerebral palsy patients in males for four patients and three female patients with a p-value of 0.06, Diseases of the circulatory system for three male patients and one female with a statistically significant relationship at 0.01. Cerebral palsy is an urgent problem not only for children but also for neurodegenerative diseases in adults.
