Study Reveals Higher Cardiometabolic Risks in Autistic Individuals

A peer-reviewed study has revealed that autistic individuals have a significantly higher risk of developing cardiometabolic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, stroke, and heart failure.

The authors of the study emphasize the crucial need for ongoing monitoring of cardiometabolic health within the autism spectrum disorder population. These findings underline the importance of targeted health interventions to address these elevated risks.
