Sixty eight children with ASD aged 6–16 years underwent an objective assessment of physical activity and cognitive flexibility. Parents were also asked to rate the social profile for their children. Results The results showed that age, gender and cognitive flexibility are associated with moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Analysis also showed that parent education and social function were associated with continuous minutes of physical activity. These preliminary findings indicated that children with ASD who had poor cognitive or social skills would be less physically active and more sedentary. Moreover, the results highlighted the age and gender as possible risk factors of physical inactivity in children with ASD.

Weight status in Iranian children with autism spectrum disorders: Investigation of underweight, overweight and obesity / Amir Hossein MEMARI in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-1 (January-March 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 6-1 (January-March 2012) . - p.234-239 Titre : Weight status in Iranian children with autism spectrum disorders: Investigation of underweight, overweight and obesity Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Amir Hossein MEMARI, Auteur ; Ramin KORDI, Auteur ; Vahid ZIAEE, Auteur ; Fatemeh Sadat MIRFAZELI, Auteur ; Mohammad S. SETOODEH, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.234-239 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Obesity  BMI percentile  Children and adolescence Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The purpose of this study was to survey the weight status of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) in Iranian pupils and further to investigate the most likely associated factors such as demographics, autism severity and medications. The survey was designed to provide a random sample of 113 children and adolescents (boys = 90, girls = 23) aged 7–14 years old attending autism-specific schools in Tehran in 2010. The findings revealed that 50.4% of these young children were in the limits of normal weight, but 8.7% were underweight, 13.3% were overweight, 11.5% were obese, and 15.9% were severely obese. There were significant associations between obesity and poverty level, age, sex and socioeconomic state. We conclude that with increase in the prevalence of ASD, there was found a growing rate of obesity in these children.
