Abstract
Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) causes physical impairment and affects nutritional status. It is unclear whether changes in nutritional status contribute to alter physical performance. We aimed at exploring the physical and nutritional status of patients with SSc. The sample included 27 patients with SSc and 11 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers.
