The Association Between Obesity and Key Health or Psychosocial Outcomes Among Autistic Adults: A Systematic Review

Auteurs: Daniel G. Gilmore, Anne Longo, Brittany N. Hand

Gepubliceerd in: Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders | Uitgave 9/2022

Abstract

Obesity is linked with health and psychosocial outcomes among many populations. However, it is unclear the extent to which obesity is linked with these outcomes among autistic adults. We searched seven research databases for articles examining the association between obesity and autistic adults’ health and psychosocial outcomes. Three studies found that obesity was associated with health outcomes, including: in-hospital mortality, risk of type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and number of co-occurring medical conditions. One study found no significant association between autism diagnosis, mental health conditions, and body mass index. Obesity increases the risk of in-hospital mortality and some chronic conditions among autistic adults, highlighting the need for clinicians trained to promote weight management among autistic adults.
