Mar GÓMEZ-PÉREZ, Auteur ; Dafina PETROVA, Auteur ; Andres CATENA, Auteur ; Rocio GARCIA-RETAMERO, Auteur Article en page(s) : 202876 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Sleep  Mealtime  Screen time  Physical activity  Family quality of life  FQoL  Autism spectrum disorder  ASD 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.

Relationship Between Health-Related Behaviors and Family Quality of Life in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Dunia GARRIDO in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-12 (December 2026)

Previous studies have suggested that certain health-related behaviors in children with ASD, such as sleep or physical activity, may affect FQoL. However, the relative and independent effects of different health-related behaviors on FQoL remain poorly understood. This study investigated the relationship between sleep, mealtime difficulties, screen time, physical activity, and FQoL in ASD. Parents of 65 children with ASD aged four to thirteen years completed a detailed assessment of their children’s health-related behaviors and FQoL. A multiple regression framework was used to estimate the independent contribution of each health-related behavior to FQoL. Only sleep and mealtime problems were independently associated with lower FQoL, even after controlling for physical activity, screen time, gender, age, traits of ASD, and intelligence, accounting for a 60, and 3% of the variance, respectively. All categories of sleep and mealtime problems were associated with FQoL, with particularly strong correlations for sleep anxiety (r =.71), daytime sleepiness (r =.70), and food refusal (r =.72). In addition to core autistic features, sleep and mealtime behaviors are associated with FQoL in children with ASD. Interventions aimed at improving sleep habits and reducing mealtime difficulties many enhance FQoL in children with ASD.
