(HealthNewsDigest.com) – COLUMBUS, Ohio – Researchers at The Ohio State University Medical Center are conducting a study to determine if children with autism spectrum disorders and low cholesterol can benefit from increasing their dietary cholesterol intake.
Researchers are seeking children with autistic disorder, Asperger’s disorder, or another pervasive developmental disorder between the ages of 4 and 12. To be eligible, children must be in general good health and have a mental age of at least 18 months.
If needed, a diagnostic evaluation will be provided without charge.
The 26- to 32-week study includes a free cholesterol test, evaluations, diagnosis, and study treatments.
Children with abnormally low cholesterol will try special cholesterol supplementation. Those with high cholesterol will be informed so they can take preventive action for heart health.
The study is taking place in the Nisonger Center, a federally designated University Center of Excellence in Developmental Disabilities at OSU Medical Center.
