Abstract

Abstract

Objective To investigate the physical development, nutrition and health status of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) aged 2-5 years in Tangshan, so as to provide evidence for formulating intervention measures. Methods A total of 208 children with ASD aged 2-5 years from Tangshan Maternal and Child Health Hospital and special education institutions from March 2019 to June 2021 were recruited for questionnaire survey and physical measurement.Indexes of height for age Z score (HAZ), weight for age Z score (WAZ) and body mass index for age Z score (BAZ) were used to evaluate growth status according to WHO child growth standard. Results The distribution curves of HAZ, WAZ and BAZ in ASD children shifted to the left side extending beyond-2 and+2.The rates of stunting, wasting, underweight, overweight, obesity in ASD children were 4.3%, 6.3%, 1.4%, 4.8% and 4.3%, respectively.The wasting rate among different groups with feeding methods (X²=7.836, P=0.020), ASD severity (X²=13.011, P=0.001) and groups with whether gastrointestinal symptoms (X²=4.513, P=0.034) were different, which of the mixed feeding group and severe ASD groups and group with gastrointestinal symptoms were the highest.The monthly prevalence rate of children with ASD was 58.2% and the top three diseases were acute upper respiratory tract infections, influenza and gastroenteritis, accounting for 46.2%, 9.1% and 4.8% respectively. Conclusions The children with ASD show deviation of physical development and the high prevalence rate of common diseases in Tangshan.It is necessary to strengthen growth monitoring, nutrition intervention and disease prevention to them.
