Resumo

Os principais transtornos do comportamento alimentar são a anorexia e a bulimia nervosa. Nos países industrializados, essas condições têm sido observadas cedo na vida e não têm sido exclusividade de mulheres ricas e brancas, embora a ocorrência no sexo feminino seja muito maior. Essas pacientes demonstram medo extremo de ganhar peso, havendo uma distorção na imagem que têm do próprio corpo. O autismo é uma síndrome do comportamento que resulta em dificuldades na interação social, na comunicação e na cognição. Neste sentido, vários estudos atuais mostram a relação entre distúrbios alimentares em pacientes com Transtorno do Espectro Autista. Portanto, o objetivo do trabalho é analisar a frequência da ocorrência dessas condições associadas em um grupo de pacientes de uma instituição de saúde de Goiânia.

Trata-se de um estudo transversal através da aplicação do questionário chamado The swedish eating assessment for Autism spectrum disorders (SWEAA) em pacientes assistidos na Associação de Pais e Amigos dos Excepcionais (APAE). O questionário será aplicado em todos os pacientes diagnosticados com Transtorno do Espectro Autista, na idade entre 15 e 29 anos, sem alterações de inteligência. Com o desenvolvimento de uma análise quantitativa, espera-se comprovar a alta prevalência da associação entre os transtornos do espectro autista a transtornos alimentares, bem como, se esta intercorrelação favorece complicações consideráveis nas manifestações clínicas. Propõem-se que os impactos sociais e educacionais sejam estabelecidos a curto prazo, de abrangência interinstitucional, na área de neurociências. E que por meio, deste levantamento estatístico, seja possível elucidar os principais padrões existentes, no intuito de estabelecer medidas preventivas, melhorando a qualidade de vida.

ANALYSIS OF FOOD DISORDERS PRESENT IN INDIVIDUALS DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISTIC SPECTRUM DISORDER IN ASSISTANCE BY APAE-GOIÂNIA

Abstract

The main eating disorders are anorexia and bulimia nervosa. In industrialized countries, these conditions have been observed early in life and have not been exclusive to rich and white women, although the occurrence in females is much higher. These patients show extreme fear of gaining weight, there being a distortion in the image they have of their own body. Autism is a behavioral syndrome that results in difficulties in social interaction, communication and cognition. In this sense, several current studies show the relationship between eating disorders in patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Therefore, the objective of the study is to analyze the frequency of occurrence of these associated conditions in a group of patients from a health institution in Goiânia. This is a cross-sectional study through the application of the questionnaire The swedish eating assessment for Autism spectrum disorders (SWEAA) in patients assisted in Association of Parents and Friends of the Exceptional (APAE). The questionnaire will be applied to all patients diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, aged between 15 and 29 years, without any changes in intelligence. With the development of a quantitative analysis, it is expected to prove the high prevalence of the association between autism spectrum disorders and eating disorders, as well as whether this intercorrelation favors considerable complications in clinical manifestations. It is proposed that the social and educational impacts be established in the short term, of interinstitutional scope, in the area of neurosciences. And that through this statistical survey, it is possible to elucidate the main existing standards, in order to establish preventive measures, improving the quality of life.
