| Résumé : |
Health-related behaviors —including sleep quality, physical-activity level, screen time, and mealtime behavior —, are often disrupted in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and may be associated with a lower family quality of life (FQoL). This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated these associations, recognizing the central role that daily health habits may play in shaping FQoL. A registered protocol in PROSPERO (CRD42023408500) guided a comprehensive search across seven electronic databases and grey literature sources, yielding 12 eligible studies that included 6373 families of children with ASD who were evaluated on health-related behaviors and FQoL. Publication bias was assessed. Moderate correlations were found between FQoL and sleep problems (k=6,r=−.36,p<.001), and moderate positive correlations with screen-time (k=3,r=.34,p<.05). Physical activity showed no significant pooled association with FQoL (k=4,r=.14,p=.49) despite substantial heterogeneity. Mealtime behavior showed a negative association in a single study (k = 1, r=−0.25). Future research should clarify the directionality of these associations and examine how multiple health-related behaviors may interact to influence FQoL. Targeted interventions addressing specific health-related behaviors could enhance existing approaches for improving FQoL in families of children with ASD. |
