Nutrient and food group contributing to stability categories in children with ASD.
| Less stable (n = 13) | More stable (n = 13) | |
|---|---|---|
| Food group (servings/day)a | ||
| Fish | 0 (0–0.14) | 0.04 (0–0.14)† |
| Condiments | 0.36 (0–0.5) | 0.08 (0–0.4)* |
| Nutrientb | ||
| Total protein (g) | 43 (34–49) | 52 (31–68)† |
Data expressed as Median (IQR); FDR-corrected
*
p ≤ 0.05;
†
p ≤ 0.1; Individuals in the ASD group were assigned to a category of stability based on falling above or below the median of median weighted UniFrac distances.
a
Food groups derived from food frequency questionnaire.
b
Nutrient intake derived from 3-day food diary.
