Research ties autism to higher chronic disease risk in adulthood
In an analysis of medical records of more than 23,000 people aged 18 and older, Kaiser Permanente researchers found that
those with autism spectrum disorder had a greater likelihood of
suffering from chronic conditions than those without autism. Almost all
health problems were substantially more prevalent among individuals with
autism, including hypertension, diabetes and gastrointestinal
disorders. The findings will be presented at the International Meeting
for Autism Research.
