EV0495 E-PosterEating DisordersCross-sectional comparison within a cohort # Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) in children with and without neurodevelopmental conditions: symptom profiles and associated functional impairment AVOIDANT/RESTRICTIVE FOOD INTAKE DISORDER (ARFID) IN CHILDREN WITH AND WITHOUT NEURODEVELOPMENTAL CONDITIONS: SYMPTOM PROFILES AND ASSOCIATED IMPAIRMENT Presenter: Lisa Dinkler Country: Sweden Co-occurring neurodevelopmental conditions are associated with more severe ARFID symptoms and functional impairment, with autism and ADHD showing distinct profiles. The study aimed to characterize how ARFID symptoms and associated functional impairment differ between children with and without neurodevelopmental conditions (NDCs), and across NDC types. Parent-reported screening was conducted among children aged 6–14 years in the Swedish ARIES cohort using the NIAS, PARDI-AR-Q, and PEDE-Q scales; 1,671 screen-positive cases and 661 screen-negative controls were assessed. The prevalence of any NDC was 53% (850) among screen-positive cases and 10% (66) among controls. Among screen-positive cases, autism and/or ADHD were identified in 48% (774), autism in 34% (545), ADHD in 39% (623), developmental coordination disorder in 13% (207), tics in 13% (210), and intellectual disability in 14% (222). When children with ARFID alone (n=764) and those with co-occurring ARFID and NDCs (n=850) were compared using age- and sex-adjusted ANOVA with FDR correction, the NDC group had higher PARDI-AR-Q sensory scores (d = 0.33), low interest scores (d = 0.44), fear scores (d = 0.12), severity scores (d = 0.56), psychosocial impairment (d = 0.64), family impact (d = 0.24), RCADS depression scores (d = 0.97), RCADS anxiety scores (d = 0.68), and gastrointestinal symptom scores (d = 0.38). No differences were found in age at onset or BMI-SDS (ns). In age- and sex-adjusted regression analyses using standardized beta coefficients among children diagnosed with ARFID, autism was associated with earlier onset and higher scores for sensory sensitivity, fear of aversive consequences of eating, ARFID severity, psychosocial impairment, and anxiety, whereas poor appetite/low interest in eating scores were more prominent in ADHD. The authors concluded that tailored assessments and interventions are needed for children with co-occurring ARFID and NDCs.
