About The Study: This cohort study found that the prevalence of avoidant/restrictive food intake in the general pediatric population was substantial, and affected children had an associated elevated risk of developmental difficulties across multiple domains. The findings suggest a need for broad support interventions and advance understanding of the genetic underpinnings of avoidant/restrictive food intake.
