摘要：
A survey of residents with pica was conducted in a provincial facility for adults with developmental disabilities. Of the total population of 689 residents, 152 (22.1%) engaged in pica behaviour. Almost a third of the residents with pica had a preference for a single item. An equal number of residents without pica was chosen as a comparison group. An analysis of the study population of 304 residents revealed no association between pica and age, sex, autism, depression or schizophrenia. Pica was however significantly associated with a profound level of mental retardation and low levels of serum zinc and iron. The clinical and research implications of the results are discussed.
