The effects of soy-based infant formulas on childhood development are not well understood. This exploratory study evaluates the severity of autistic behaviors in association with the use of soy-based infant formula in a population of high-functioning autistic children. Medical record data were analyzed from the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative Simplex Collection, which included data on infant formula use and autism diagnostic scores for 1,949 autistic children. We found exploratory associations between the use of soy-based infant formula and several autistic behaviors as assessed by line-item analysis of the Aberrant Behavior Checklist, Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised and Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule. This study provides preliminary data that the use of soy-based infant formula may be associated with specific autistic behaviors.
大豆基婴儿配方奶粉对儿童发育的影响尚未得到充分了解。这项探索性研究评估了在一群高功能自闭症儿童中，使用大豆基婴儿配方奶粉与自闭症行为严重程度之间的关联。对西蒙斯基金会自闭症研究计划单纯型数据集的病历数据进行了分析，该数据集包括1949名自闭症儿童的婴儿配方奶粉使用情况和自闭症诊断评分数据。通过对异常行为检查表、自闭症诊断访谈修订版和自闭症诊断观察量表的逐项目分析，我们发现使用大豆基婴儿配方奶粉与几种自闭症行为之间存在探索性关联。这项研究提供了初步数据，表明使用大豆基婴儿配方奶粉可能与特定的自闭症行为有关。
