Objective: Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is a feeding and eating disorder characterized by extremely restricted dietary variety and/or quantity resulting in serious consequences for physical health and psychosocial functioning. ARFID often co-occurs with neurodevelopmental conditions (NDCs) and psychiatric conditions, but previous data are mostly limited to small clinical samples examining a narrow range of conditions. Here, we examined NDCs and psychiatric conditions in a large, population-based group of children with ARFID. Method: In a sample of 30,795 children born 1992-2008 in Sweden, ARFID was assessed using parent reports and clinical diagnoses from national health registers. Parents further reported symptoms of NDCs and psychiatric conditions at child age 9 or 12 years. We conducted regressions for symptom scores and screening diagnoses (identified using validated cut offs) on ARFID and examined interactions with sex. Results: Children with ARFID had significantly increased odds of all 17 screening diagnoses with odds ratios ranging from 3.3 for visual hallucinations to 13.7 for autism (all p<.0001). The most common NDCs were oppositional defiant disorder (19.4%), ADHD (16.9%), tic disorders (14.8%), and autism (12.1%). Among psychiatric conditions, separation anxiety disorder (29.0%) and sleep problems (20.0%) had the highest prevalence. We did not find any sex-specific differences in co-occurring conditions. Conclusion: This study highlights the co-occurrence of a broad range of NDCs and psychiatric conditions with ARFID in a large, non-clinical cohort. Our findings underscore that children with ARFID face significant burden from multiple co-existing conditions which should be considered during assessment and treatment.
