Objective To explore intervention effects on nutrient intake, eating behavior problems of children with autism and their parent's nutrition dietary knowledge improvement by comprehensive intervention based on IMFeD. Methods 49 children with autism were randomly selected to assessment their dietary intake by 24 hours dietary recalls, meanwhile, completed the investigation on children's diet and related behavioral problems with self-designed questionnaire.Before and after intervention, intervention effects of nutrient intake, dietary behavior problems of children with autism and parent's dietary knowledge level were evaluated. Results Dietary behavioral problems (including diet poor appetite, food preferences, poor eating habits and poor parental feeding behavior) in children with autism were decreased after intervention (P<0.05).The awareness rate of parent nutrition dietary knowledge increased from 61.3% to 77.5%.Intake levels of energy, vitamin C, sodium, protein, vitamin B6, phosphorus, thiamine and folic acid were improved significantly for children with autism (P<0.05). Conclusions IMFeD intervention strategies have obvious effects on improving autism dietary nutrient intake and knowledge awareness of parents dietary and nutrition, decreasing dietary behavior problems of autistic children.
