Resumo: Objective: This study aims to investigate the nutritional status of children with autism and to verify their association with children's lifestyle. Methods: A total of 43 children with autism were enrolled in the Integrated Rehabilitation Center located in the city of Teresina, Piauí, Brazil, of both sexes, aged between 2 and 10 years. An interview with parents was carried out through a questionnaire with sociodemographic and lifestyle data and anthropometric mesures of the children. Results: In relation to nutritional status, it was verified the prevalence of eutrophic infants (55.6%) and obese children (23.3%). Besides, a significant association between intestinal problems and nutritional status (p=0,013) was found, however it was not possible to verify a significant association among nutricional status with medicines (p=0,720) and physical activity (p = 1000). Conclusion: Despite the importance of overweight and its implications on children's health, it has been found that there is still a paucity of studies in the literature showing an association of nutritional status with these factors.

Métodos: 43 niños con autismo participaron en el Centro de Rehabilitación Integrado ubicado en la ciudad de Teresina, Piauí, Brasil, de ambos sexos, con edades entre 2 y 10 años. Se realizó una entrevista con los padres a través de un cuestionario que contenía datos sociodemográficos y de estilo de vida y antropometría de los niños. Resultados: En cuanto al estado nutricional, se verificó la prevalencia de niños eutróficos (55,6%) y niños obesos (23,3%). Se encontró asociación significativa entre problemas intestinales y estado nutricional (p = 0.013), pero no fue posible verificar una asociación significativa entre estado nutricional con medicamentos (p = 0.720) y actividad física (p = 1,000). Conclusión: a pesar de la importancia del sobrepeso y sus implicaciones para la salud de los niños, se encontró que en la literatura aún existe una escasez de estudios que demuestren la asociación del estado nutricional con estos factores.Objetivo: Investigar o estado nutricional das crianças com autismo e verificar sua associação com o estilo de vida dos infantis.
