Measuring the impact of feeding covariates on health-related quality of life in children with autism spectrum disorder

Abstract

Conclusion: The study provides evidence that feeding problems, mealtime problems and feeding strategies, play a significant and predictive role on HRQoL. Consequently, eliminating feeding and mealtime problems and ameliorating parental feeding strategies/practices may promote the HRQoL of children with ASD. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
