Dietary intake, nutrient status, and growth parameters in children with autism spectrum disorder and severe food selectivity: An electronic medical record review
Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Jul 15, 2018
Sharp WG, et al. - Researchers performed a cross-sectional electronic medical record review to examine a sample of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with severe food selectivity in order to determine the demographic characteristics, anthropometric parameters, risk of nutritional inadequacy, dietary variety, and problematic mealtime behaviors. Data extraction followed a systematic protocol for data extraction. Complete omission of one or more food groups (eg, fruit, vegetable, protein, grain, dairy) or consuming a narrow range of items on a weekly basis (eg, five or fewer total food items) was needed as per the criteria used for severe food selectivity. Findings suggested possible increased risk for nutritional inadequacies among children with ASD and severe food selectivity.
