30名年龄在3至10岁的自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童参与了这项研究，该研究探索了问题饮食行为、每日营养摄入和感觉障碍之间的关联。家长完成了关于其孩子日常饮食行为的调查。在进餐时表现出更严重的自闭症特异性破坏行为的儿童，最有可能出现生物素、维生素K、碘、亚麻酸ω - 3脂肪酸和胆碱等特定营养素摄入不足的风险，这些营养素在新陈代谢以及骨骼和大脑健康中起作用。表现出拒食的儿童往往热量和营养摄入增加。挑食的儿童更有可能摄入足够的每日营养素，但家长报告的其味觉/嗅觉敏感度最高。这项初步研究的结果支持对自闭症谱系障碍中的问题饮食行为采取多因素管理方法。
Thirty children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) aged 3 to 10 years participated in this study exploring associations between problem eating behaviors, daily nutrient intake, and sensory disturbance. Parents completed surveys regarding the usual eating behaviors of their children. Children exhibiting more severe autism-specific disruptive behaviors at mealtimes were most at risk for suboptimal intake of select nutrients such as biotin, vitamin K, iodine, linolenic omega-3 fatty acids, and choline, which play a role in metabolism and bone and brain health. Children exhibiting food refusal tended to have increased caloric and nutrient intake. Picky eaters were more likely to consume adequate daily nutrients but experienced the highest levels of parent-reported taste/smell sensitivity. The findings of this preliminary study support a multifactorial approach to the management of problem eating behaviors in ASD.
