A number of studies have been made of mealtime behavioral problems and food selectivity in patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), though not from a multidisciplinary perspective where diet and dental care are investigated in children with ASD. In the present study, the parents of 55 children with ASD and 91 children with typical development (TD) between 6 and 18 years of age completed the Brief Assessment of Mealtime Behavior in Children (BAMBIC) and a food consumption frequency questionnaire. A pediatric dentist performed an oral exploration of the participants according to the criteria of the World Health Organization (WHO). Food rejection and limited food variety were associated to an increased prevalence of malocclusion and altered Community Periodontal Index scores in children with ASD.
已经有多项研究针对自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）患者的进餐行为问题和食物选择性进行了研究，但这些研究并非从多学科的角度出发，即没有研究 ASD 儿童的饮食和口腔护理。在本研究中，55 名 ASD 儿童和 91 名典型发育（TD）儿童的父母完成了《儿童进餐行为简短评估量表》（BAMBIC）和食物消费频率问卷。一名儿科牙医根据世界卫生组织（WHO）的标准对参与者进行了口腔检查。食物拒绝和食物种类有限与 ASD 儿童错颌畸形和社区牙周指数评分改变的患病率增加有关。
