Pain, dietary habits and physical activity of children with developmental disabilities in Croatia, North Macedonia and Serbia: a cross-sectional study
Our findings indicate that chronic pain, inadequate dietary patterns and insufficient physical activity are common in CDD from Croatia, Macedonia and Serbia. Education of parents and caregivers can mitigate their use of interventions that have not been proven effective, such as for example the use of gluten-free diets in CDD.
