Autism spectrum disorder and typically developing children: Comparison of eating behaviors and parents nutrition knowledge / Demet Konak HEKIMCI in Research in Autism, 129 (January 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 129 (January 2026) . - 202736 Titre : Autism spectrum disorder and typically developing children: Comparison of eating behaviors and parents nutrition knowledge Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Demet Konak HEKIMCI, Auteur ; Birsen DEMIREL, Auteur ; Gül Eda KıLıNÇ, Auteur ; Gülten ÖZTÃœRK, Auteur Année de publication : 2026 Article en page(s) : 202736 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder  Nutrition  Eating Behavior  Nutrition Knowledge Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background This study aimed to determine difference between the eating behaviors of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typically developing children and nutritional knowledge of their parents. Method This is a cross-sectional study that included typically developing children (n = 36) between the ages of 3 and 6 diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (n = 33) and their parents (n = 69). Child Eating Behavior Questionnaire (CEBQ) was used, and the Nutrition Knowledge Level for Adults (NKLA) scale was used to assess parents' nutritional knowledge. To control for potential confounding effects in the analyses, demographic and anthropometric variables such as age, gender, height, weight and breastfeeding duration, as well as nutritional factors such as skipping main meals, amount of water consumption, bowel problems, picky eating behavior, problems during feeding, eating environment and who received the food were included as control variables. Results Children with ASD exhibited lower snack consumption compared to typically developing children (p < 0.05). A higher percentage of children with ASD (69.7 %) experienced temper tantrums when unable to consume their preferred food compared to typically developing children (p < 0.05). The results of the CEBQ showed that children with ASD exhibited more emotional overeating behavior (p < 0.05). The parents of typically developing children had a higher level of education (p < 0.05). Parents of typically developing children scored higher than parents of autistic children on the rating question on the NKLA scale regarding the nutrition-health relationship (p < 0.05). Food frequency results showed that children with ASD consumed core food groups less frequently and had a higher daily intake of packaged products and beverages (p < 0.05). Conclusions Children with autism spectrum disorder face more difficulties in nutrition than their typically developing peers. Considering the differences in the level of nutrition knowledge of parents, it would be beneficial to strengthen nutrition education programs especially for parents of children with ASD.

Food fussiness and food neophobia share a common etiology in early childhood / Andrea D. SMITH in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 58-2 (February 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 58-2 (February 2017) . - p.189-196 Titre : Food fussiness and food neophobia share a common etiology in early childhood Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Andrea D. SMITH, Auteur ; Moritz HERLE, Auteur ; Alison FILDES, Auteur ; Lucy COOKE, Auteur ; Silje STEINSBEKK, Auteur ; Clare H. LLEWELLYN, Auteur Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : p.189-196 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Eating behavior  twin design  behavioral genetics  food fussiness  food neophobia Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background ‘Food fussiness’ (FF) is the tendency to be highly selective about which foods one is willing to eat, and emerges in early childhood; ‘food neophobia’ (FN) is a closely related characteristic but specifically refers to rejection of unfamiliar food. These behaviors are associated, but the extent to which their etiological architecture overlaps is unknown. The objective of this study was to quantify the relative contribution of genetic and environmental influences to variation in FF and FN in early childhood; and to establish the extent to which they share common genetic and environmental influences. Method Participants were 1,921 families with 16-month-old twins from the Gemini birth cohort. Parents completed the Child Eating Behaviour Questionnaire which included three FF items and four FN items. Bivariate quantitative genetic modeling was used to quantify: (a) genetic and environmental contributions to variation in FF and FN; and (b) the extent to which genetic or environmental influences on FF and FN are shared across the traits. Results Food fussiness and FN were strongly correlated (r = .72, p < .001). Proportions of variation in FF were equally explained by genetic (.46; 95% CI: 0.41–0.52) and shared environmental influences (.46; 95% CI: 0.41–0.51). Shared environmental effects accounted for a significantly lower proportion of variation in FN (.22; 95% CI: 0.14–0.30), but genetic influences were not significantly different from those on FF (.58, 95% CI: 0.50–0.67). FF and FN largely shared a common etiology, indicated by high genetic (.73; 95% CI: 0.67–0.78) and shared environmental correlations (.78; 95% CI: 0.69–0.86) across the two traits. Conclusions Food fussiness and FN both show considerable heritability at 16 months but shared environmental factors, for example the home environment, influenced more interindividual differences in the expression of FF than in FN. FF and FN largely share a common etiology.
