Resumo: | Objective: This study examined the growth status and physical development of Brazilian children with autism spectrum disorders from 4 to 15 years of age. Furthermore, it was examined whether variation in growth patterns and weight status was influenced by the use of psychotropic medications. Methods: One-hundred and twenty children aged 3.6---12.1 years at baseline (average = 7.2 years, SD = 2.3 years) diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders were measured on three repeated occasions across a 4-year period. Stature, body mass, and body mass index were considered. Bayesian multilevel modeling was used to describe the individual growth patterns. Results: Growth in stature was comparable to the age-specific 50th percentile for Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reference data until approximately 8 years, but a substantial decrease in growth rate was observed thereafter, reaching the age-specific 5th percentile at 15 years of age. Both body mass and body mass index values were, on average, higher than both the Brazilian and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention age-specific 95th percentile reference until 8 years, but below the 50th specific-age percentile at the age of 15 years. Conclusions: Brazilian boys with autism spectrum disorders between 4 and 15 years appear to have impaired growth in stature after 8---9 years of age, likely impacting pubertal growth. A high prevalence of overweight and obesity was observed in early childhood, although a trendof substantial decrease in body mass and body mass index was apparent when children withautism spectrum disorders entered the years of pubertal development. |

Adicionalmente,examinamos se a variac¸ão nos padrões de crescimento e na massa corporal foi influenciada pelouso de medicamentos psicotrópicos.Métodos: 120 crianc¸as com idades entre 3,6 e 12,1 anos no início do estudo (média = 7,2 anos,DP = 2,3 anos) diagnosticadas com transtornos do espectro autista foram avaliadas em trêsocasiões repetidas em um período de 4 anos. Foram considerados estatura, massa corporal eíndice de massa corporal. O modelo multinível bayesiano foi utilizado para descrever os padrõesde crescimento individual.Resultados: O crescimento em estatura foi comparável ao percentil 50 específico para a idadepara os dados de referência do Centro de Controle e Prevenc¸ão de Doenc¸as dos Estados Unidosaté cerca de 8 anos. Porém, foi observada uma reduc¸ão substancial na taxa de crescimentodepois dos 8 anos, atingindo o percentil 5 específico para a idade aos 15 anos de idade. Tantoos valores de massa corporal quanto de índice de massa corporal foram, em média, maiorescomparativamente ao percentil 95 específico para a idade até aos 8 anos da referência brasileirae do Centro de Controle e Prevenc¸ão de Doenc¸as dos Estados Unidos, porém abaixo do percentil50 específico para a idade aos 15 anos de idade.Conclusões: Os meninos brasileiros com transtornos do espectro autista entre 4 e 15 anosparecem ter retardo do crescimento na estatura após os 8---9 anos, provavelmente afeta ocrescimento púbere. Foi observada uma alta prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade na primeirainfância, apesar de uma tendência de reduc¸ão substancial na massa corporal e no índice demassa corporal ter sido aparente quando as crianc¸as com transtornos do espectro autistaentraram nos anos de desenvolvimento púbere.Elsevier2019info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://hdl.handle.net/10316/107080http://hdl.handle.net/10316/107080https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jped.2018.06.008eng00217557300711891678-4782Toscano, ChrystianeFerreira, José P.Gaspar, Joana M.Carvalho, Humberto M.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-05-11T11:28:57Zoai:estudogeral.uc.pt:10316/107080Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T21:23:27.201775Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
