“Autistic traits” include a wide range of severity levels. They are often subclinical, and widely distributed in the general population. It is possible that food selectivity due to hyper- or hypo-reactivity to smell or texture, an autistic feature, may result in inadequate nutrient intakes even among non-clinical adults with autistic traits. However, dietary intake of adults with autistic traits has not been elucidated. This study aimed to investigate an association between dietary intake and autistic traits. We cross-sectionally analyzed data of 1440 men and 613 women extracted from the Eating Habit and Well-Being study. Autistic traits were assessed using the Japanese version of the Subthreshold Autism Trait Questionnaire (SATQ), and dietary intake was assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire. Iron and vitamin B12 intakes were marginally and inversely associated with the SATQ score in men. The SATQ score in women was positively associated with carbohydrate intake, but had an inverse association with protein, mineral, vitamin, and dietary fiber intakes. Low intakes of seaweed, fish and shellfish, and vegetables were observed in participants with severe autistic traits. Associations of autistic traits with food selectivity and low nutrient intakes should be further investigated to promote a new dietary strategy in the general population.

Abstract Objectives It is estimated that lifestyle factors, such as dietary intake, contribute up to 21% of all breast cancer (BC) cases. High dietary intakes of omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFA) have been associated with a reduced incidence of BC. Dietary intake of n-3 LCPUFA typically correlate with blood fatty acid concentrations, but the relationship between blood fatty acid concentrations and BC risk has not yet been established. We hypothesized that higher plasma phospholipid (PL) content of n-3 LCPUFAs would be associated with a reduced risk of BC. Methods Plasma samples and relevant covariables were obtained from 614 age-matched women (203 with BC/411 control) from a nested case-control within Alberta's Tomorrow Project. PL fatty acid concentration and relative % composition were determined from baseline plasma samples (collected 9–16 years pre-BC diagnosis). Principal component analysis was employed to determine predictive models for fatty acid clusters. Conditional logistic regression models controlled for covariates were used to assess the relative risk of BC (odds ratio-OR) by fatty acid content. Sub-group analyses by menopausal status and BMI at baseline were also performed. Results When adjusted for BMI and menopausal status, individual fatty acids, including linoleic acid (OR = 1.75, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.08,2.84, P < 0.04) and arachidonic acid (OR = 1.60, 95% CI = 1.03,2.49, P < 0.04), were positively associated with BC risk. However, composite analysis of grouped fatty acids were found to be stronger indicators of risk – total PUFA (µg/mL; OR = 2.25, 95% CI = 1.4,3.44, P < 0.001), total n-6 PUFA (OR = 2.11, 95% CI = 1.32,3.36, P < 0.002), and total n-3 PUFA (OR = 1.57, 95% CI = 1.06,2.32, P < 0.02), were independent predictors of BC risk. Conclusions In contrast to epidemiological dietary evidence, this study found an increased risk of BC with higher plasma concentrations of n-3 LCPUFA. However, the absolute n-3 concentration in this population was low, and therefore a second cohort is being assessed to validate these results. Overall, this study suggests that risk of BC cannot be predicted by isolated fatty acid blood concentrations, but that the balance of different fatty acids or the combination of n-3 and n-6 fatty acids may be a better predictor of BC.
