“…However, evidence of the relationship between these hormones and body composition in children is still limited (Dalskov et al, 2015) even in typically developing children. Even though investigations of their role in children with ASD are incipient, the nutritional aspects and eating difficulties that these patients may present are increasingly highlighted, often leading to inadequate nutritional statuses such as overweight and obesity (Castro et al, 2017;Gulati & Dubey, 2015). The main findings of our study report to a higher level of leptin and no changes in adiponectin levels in ASD children in comparison with controls, correlation of leptin with weight, FM and HDL-chol in ASD children, as well as higher FM and lower FFM in comparison with controls.…”

Leptin and adiponectin have effects on the regulation of appetite and body composition, but evidence of these relationships in children is still limited. Even though investigations of their role in children with ASD are incipient, the nutritional aspects and eating difficulties that these patients may present are increasingly highlighted, often leading to inadequate nutritional status. This cross-sectional controlled study investigated the levels of adipokines in ASD children in comparison with healthy controls, and their correlations with nutritional aspects and lipid profile. A total of 80 participants (40 ASD and 40 controls) were included and evaluated through anthropometric variables, body composition, and blood samples. ASD participants showed higher levels of leptin, no changes of adiponectin levels in comparison with typically developing children, and a positive correlation between leptin and fat mass. This novel finding supports the role of leptin as a marker of adiposity in ASD children, which is reiterated by the higher leptin/adiponectin ratio and its correlation with fat mass in patients. Inverse correlation of leptin with HDL-cholesterol could only in certain cases be related to the higher adiposity in patients when compared to controls. These results highlight also the importance of assessing the nutritional status of this population.

Resumo Objetivo: Compreender os hábitos, dificuldades e as estratégias alimentares de crianças e adolescentes com transtorno do espectro autista (TEA). Método: Trata-se de pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa do tipo exploratória e descritiva, realizada com 14 pais cujos filhos frequentam uma escola de educação especial especializada na educação de pessoas com TEA localizada em uma cidade do extremo sul catarinense, por meio de entrevista semiestruturada, com uso da análise de conteúdo temática. Resultados: Os dados coletados indicaram três categorias temáticas: hábitos alimentares de crianças e adolescentes com TEA; dificuldades alimentares de crianças e adolescentes com TEA; e estratégias alimentares para crianças e adolescentes com TEA. As crianças e adolescentes autistas possuem um considerável consumo de alimentos processados e ultraprocessados, além de comportamentos relativos à recusa alimentar, disfagia, baixa aceitação de alimentos sólidos, compulsão alimentar e sintomas gastrointestinais. Foi possível identificar também uma lacuna no conhecimento dos cuidadores relacionados aos aspectos sensoriais do transtorno envolvidos nos hábitos alimentares de seus filhos. Conclusão: As crianças e adolescentes com TEA apresentam uma alimentação diversificada, com tendência a hábitos alimentares disfuncionais e significativo comprometimento nas atividades sensoriais que dificultam a obtenção e o estabelecimento de uma alimentação saudável.
