RESUMO:

Introduction: Excess weight is endemic in autistic children and adolescents, with inadequate diet and a sedentary lifestyle being some of its etiological factors. Objective: To evaluate the relationship between food consumption, sedentary behavior, anthropometric profile and body composition of children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Methodology: This is a quantitative, cross-sectional and descriptive study. 100 children and adolescents (8.53±2.95 years) of both sexes diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, attended by the Jaguaruana Specialized Care Center and the Specialized Educational Service, participated in the study. Forms were used to outline the participants' socioeconomic profile, screen time, level of physical activity and 24-hour dietary recalls. Body composition was assessed by measuring weight, height, waist, hip and abdominal circumferences, in addition to subscapular and triceps skinfolds. Results: It was noticed that 75% of participants spent excessive time on screens. Furthermore, 74% of children and adolescents (n=74) were classified as not active. The majority were overweight (obese 40% and overweight 27%) according to the Body Mass Index for Age. Regarding body composition, 36% of participants had a moderately high and high fat percentage. Regarding food consumption, the main source of calories identified was from natural or minimally processed foods, totaling 58.04% of the usual daily intake. However, ultra-processed foods had a caloric contribution of 35.25%. Regarding the relationship between food consumption, sedentary behaviors, screen time and body composition, there were correlations between the variables (p values). Conclusion: The main results of this research with children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder show that as the intake of ultra-processed foods increases, body fat levels and anthropometric indicators of adiposity also increase. Furthermore, the less time is dedicated to physical activity, the higher the body fat levels. At the same time, the more time dedicated to screen activities, the higher the percentage of fat and indicators of excess body weight.
