Nutrition Autism bone health As a growing developmental disorder in the United States, autism has several eating behaviors that may increase the risk for bone nutrient deficiencies in children. This study was a review study comparing dietary intakes of bone nutrients in autistic and typical children from two previous studies. Data from both the RUPP (n = 113) and the NHANES studies (n = 7,693) were used to analyze intakes in autistic children and typical children, aged 4 – 13 years old, respectively. Calcium and magnesium levels were found to be lower in autistic children than typical children. Vitamin C intakes were high in the typical children, while low in the autistic children. Of bone nutrients examined in autistic children, vitamin D had the lowest AI percentage with the widest range (2.99% to 268.89%). These data justify the necessity for further studies examining the link between autism and deficient bone nutrient levels, specifically, vitamin D. 2009-07-22 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1242919899 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1242919899 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
