研究表明，患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的儿童肥胖的患病率至少与正常发育（TD）儿童一样高。自闭症儿童的许多风险因素可能与自闭症儿童相同，尤其是在当今肥胖环境的背景下。然而，这一群体面临的独特需求和挑战也可能使他们更容易受到典型风险因素的不利影响，他们也可能容易受到一般人群中儿童所没有的其他风险因素的影响。精神药理学治疗、遗传学、睡眠紊乱、非典型饮食模式以及参与足够体育活动的挑战可能与ASD儿童肥胖的发展有独特的关联。肥胖及其相关后遗症可能对自闭症患者的独立生活、自我照顾、生活质量和健康构成重大威胁。本文对ASD儿童肥胖患病率及该人群可能经历的肥胖危险因素的文献进行了综述。
Research suggests that children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have a prevalence of obesity at least as high as that seen in typically developing (TD) children. Many of the risk factors for children with ASD are likely the same as for TD children, especially within the context of today's obesogenic environment. However, the unique needs and challenges that this population faces may also render them more susceptible to the adverse effects of typical risk factors, and they may also be vulnerable to additional risk factors not shared by children in the general population. Psychopharmacological treatment, genetics, disordered sleep, atypical eating patterns, and challenges for engaging in sufficient physical activity may be uniquely associated with the development of obesity in children with ASD. Obesity and its associated sequelae potentially represent a significant threat to independent living, self-care, quality of life, and health for individuals with ASD. This article provides a summary of the literature on the prevalence of obesity in children with ASD and the putative obesity risk factors that this population may experience.
