Abstract

Objectives: Autism is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder of early childhood. Dietary supplementation of the u-3 fatty acid (docosahexaenoic acid [DHA]) during prenatal and postnatal life is considered a protective dietary intervention strategy to minimize the risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). To our knowledge, no relevant studies have been conducted in the Middle East investigating the status of DHA among children with autism during early childhood. The aim of this study was to investigate the serum levels and dietary intake status of DHA among Omani children recently diagnosed with ASD. Methods: The present case–control study involved 80 Omani children (

Abstract

Objective Arab populations lack data related to nutritional assessment in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), especially micronutrient deficiencies such as folate and vitamin B12. Methods To assess the dietary and serum folate and vitamin B12 statuses, a hospital-based case–control study was conducted in 80 Omani children (40 children with ASDs versus 40 controls). Results The ASD cases showed significantly lower levels of folate, vitamin B12, and related parameters in dietary intake and serum levels. Conclusion These data showed that Omani children with ASDs exhibit significant deficiencies in folate and vitamin B12 and call for increasing efforts to ensure sufficient intakes of essential nutrients by children with ASDs to minimize or reverse any ongoing impact of nutrient deficiencies.

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the association between suboptimal breast-feeding practices and autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Methods: A case–control study was conducted in 102 ASD cases and 102 matched healthy controls. Results: Based on adjusted odds ratios from logistic regression models, ASD was found to be associated with the late initiation of breast-feeding (odds ratio 1.48, 95% confidence interval 1.01– 3.1), a non-intake of colostrum (odds ratio 1.7, 95% confidence interval 1.03–4.3), prelacteal feeding, and bottle-feeding. The risk of ASD was found to decrease in a dose–response fashion over increasing periods of exclusive breast-feeding (P for trend ¼ 0.04) and continued breast-feeding (P for trend ¼ 0.001). Conclusion: The study indicates that increased ASD risk is generally associated with suboptimal breast-feeding practices.
