Behavioural improvements of children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) following a restricted elimination diet (RED), may be due to concurrent changes in family environment.
Twenty-four children with ADHD, were randomized to either a 5-week RED intervention, or a control intervention consisting of healthy food advices in a pilot study.
No differences in family environment were found, neither at baseline nor when comparing the start and end measurements of both groups.
In this pilot study, the effects of an RED on ADHD and ODD are not mediated by improvement of family environment in families motivated to follow an RED. Replication of this preliminary study in larger groups of children is advised.
注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）和对立违抗障碍（ODD）儿童在进行限制排除饮食（RED）后行为得到改善，可能是由于家庭环境同时发生了变化。
在一项试点研究中，将24名患有ADHD的儿童随机分为接受为期5周的RED干预组或接受包含健康饮食建议的对照干预组。
在基线时以及比较两组的起始和结束测量值时，均未发现家庭环境存在差异。
在这项试点研究中，RED对ADHD和ODD的影响并非由积极遵循RED的家庭中家庭环境的改善所介导。建议在更大规模的儿童群体中重复这项初步研究。
