Characterizing the physical and mental health profile of children, adolescents and adults with autism spectrum disorder in Spain.

Introduction: Autistic men and women are more likely to experience health issues than the general population, although the available epidemiological studies addressing co-occurrence conditions are limited. This is the first Spanish epidemiologic study addressing the health profile and poor-health exacerbating factors in individuals of all ages with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Methods: We analyzed 2,629 registries extracted from Autism Spain's sociodemographic registry (November 2017-May 2020).
