Study Details

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness in children with obesity, with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and examine how fitness relates to body measurements, body composition, and cardiometabolic health. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do children with and without ASD differ in cardiorespiratory fitness and handgrip strength? * Are fitness levels related to body composition and measures of cardiometabolic health? Researchers will compare children with ASD to children without ASD to see if there are differences in fitness, body composition, and cardiometabolic health. Participants will have information from their medical records reviewed, including: * Cardiorespiratory fitness and handgrip strength test results * Height, weight, BMI, and body composition measurements * Blood test results, including HbA1c and cholesterol levels * Age, sex, and other demographic information
