The aim of this study was to assess the diet of children with Down syndrome (DS) and to identify potential dietary mistakes made by their parents.
The study was conducted among 195 parents of people with DS between November 2020 and March 2021. Data for the study were collected anonymously using the CAWI method.
122 (62.6%) people with DS did not eliminate any nutrient from their diet. By contrast, in the study group, the following numbers of people reported the following dietary restrictions: 51 (26.2%) gluten, 56 (28.7%) lactose, 17 (8.7%) casein, 26 (13.3%) sucrose, 2 (1.0%) histamine, 2 (1.0%) lectins, and 1 (0.5%) dairy. The most frequent response for vegetable and fruit consumption was once a day, with 83 (42.6%) and 87 (44.6%) parents indicating this. The most frequent response for dairy product consumption was every day, with 72 (36.9%) parents indicating this, while 36 (20%) parents stated that their children do not eat dairy products at all. In the study group, the most frequent response for meat consumption was several times a week, this was indicated by 107 (54.9%) parents, while 1 (0.5%) of them said that their children do not eat meat products at all. The most frequent response for fish consumption was 1-2 times a week, this answer was indicated by 101 (51.8%) parents, while 13 (6.7%) said that their children do not eat these products at all.
A majority of the subjects with DS are usually fed in a normal way, but nutritional mistakes are made by the parents. Special attention should be paid to prolonging the period of natural feeding.
本研究旨在评估唐氏综合征（DS）患儿的饮食情况，并找出其父母在饮食方面可能存在的错误。
2020年11月至2021年3月期间，对195名唐氏综合征患者的父母进行了研究。研究数据采用计算机辅助网络调查（CAWI）方法匿名收集。
122名（62.6%）唐氏综合征患者在饮食中未排除任何营养素。相比之下，在研究组中，报告有以下饮食限制的人数如下：51名（26.2%）麸质、56名（28.7%）乳糖、17名（8.7%）酪蛋白、26名（13.3%）蔗糖、2名（1.0%）组胺、2名（1.0%）凝集素和1名（0.5%）乳制品。蔬菜和水果摄入频率最常见的回答是每天一次，分别有83名（42.6%）和87名（44.6%）家长选择此项。乳制品摄入频率最常见的回答是每天都吃，72名（36.9%）家长选择此项，而36名（20%）家长表示他们的孩子根本不吃乳制品。在研究组中，肉类摄入频率最常见的回答是每周几次，107名（54.9%）家长选择此项，而其中1名（0.5%）家长表示他们的孩子根本不吃肉类产品。鱼类摄入频率最常见的回答是每周1 - 2次，101名（51.8%）家长选择此项，而13名（6.7%）家长表示他们的孩子根本不吃这些产品。
大多数唐氏综合征患者通常饮食正常，但家长在营养方面存在错误。应特别注意延长自然喂养的时间。
