“…Additional findings suggest that adolescents with Down syndrome were significantly more overweight–obese and obese than those without Down syndrome. This result is consistent with findings from previous reviews and may be explained by Must et al's observation that adolescents with Down syndrome have ‘ lower fat‐free mass (González‐Agüero et al, 2011) and lower resting metabolic rates than TD children (Hill et al 2013; Luke et al, 1996) ’ (p. 158). Additionally, according to Reinehr et al (4, p. 270), adolescents with Down syndrome ‘ have a predisposition to overeat, because the cerebral regions that are responsible for weight regulation (hypothalamus) may be damaged (van Mil et al, 2001; Luke et al, 1996) ’.…”

“…skinfold thickness, waist circumference and bioelectrical impedance analysis) for two reasons. First, previous reviews showed that they were the most largely used in overweight/obesity prevalence studies among children and adolescents with ID. Second, a recent scoping review showed that the validity, reliability and/or sensitivity of other methods (i.e.…”

“…Since then, five additional reviews have summarized the research examining the prevalence of overweight and/or obesity among children and/or adolescents with ID or developmental disabilities (DD). The DD categorization is broader than ID and encompasses Fragile X syndrome, Down syndrome, pervasive developmental disorders, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, cerebral palsy and ID .…”

“…Moreover, these reviews suffer from important limitations. Firstly, five of these reviews were non‐systematic, and the sole systematic review was restricted to the relationship between parental/parenting factors and obesity among children and/or adolescents with DD. Therefore, numerous studies on children and/or adolescents with ID could have been missed.…”

Prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities: a systematic review and meta‐analysis

et al. 2016

Although there have been numerous studies examining the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities, they have not yet been integrated and synthesized through a systematic quantitative review process. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine: (i) the prevalence of overweight/obesity among children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities; (ii) the sources of heterogeneity in studies reporting the prevalence of overweight/obesity in this population; and (iii) the risk of overweight/obesity in this population compared with their typically developing peers. A systematic literature search was performed and 16 studies, published between 1985 and 2015, met the inclusion criteria. The resulting pooled prevalence estimates for overweight, overweight-obesity and obesity were respectively: (i) 15%, 30%, and 13%, in children; and (ii) 18%, 33%, and 15% in adolescents. Subgroup analyses showed significant variations in the pooled prevalence estimates as a function of geographical region, recruitment setting, additional diagnoses, and norms used to define overweight or obesity. The findings also showed adolescents with intellectual disabilities to be respectively 1.54 and 1.80 times more at risk of overweight-obesity and obesity than typically developing adolescents. Unfortunately, no such comparison is available for children. © 2016 World Obesity.

Physical activity has been shown to benefit not only health outcomes in people with intellectual disabilities (ID) but also reduce challenging behavior and increase on task behavior. The goal of this review is to update and extend Lancioni and O'Reilly (1998) literature review of physical activity for people with severe to profound ID. Specifically, this review sought to determine how physical activity was being used to increase health-related outcomes with people with mild to profound ID or related disabilities (e.g., Down's syndrome, traumatic brain injury), and how physical activity has been used as an intervention. Findings from the review indicate that intensity of the physical activity used may have an effect on the outcomes as well. Finally, this review highlighted the need for more research on physical activity for people with ID.

Dietitians’ challenges when consulting to adults with intellectual disabilities

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate registered dietitians’ (RDs) experiences in consulting to adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) in Sweden. Design/methodology/approach A descriptive study using a study-specific web-based questionnaire was administered, comprising both multiple-choice questions with a space for comments and open-ended questions. The open-ended answers and comments from 53 respondents were analysed with systematic text condensation. Findings Four categories were identified: RDs’ experiences from the first meeting; explanations for late initial contact; the actions taken by RDs; and necessary measures for more sustainable nutrition care. Ten sub-categories described the challenges that RDs experience in more detail. Practical implications It is necessary to provide adults with ID and their supporting staff with individually tailored nutritional information. Individuals with ID must be actively involved in lifestyle changes that affect their everyday life. The RD must be included in the interdisciplinary team supporting adults with ID. If a new practice is to be implemented, it should be compatible with the existing values of adults with ID and their staff and must be feasible to implement in the everyday life of the individual. Originality/value This paper identified several barriers that should be overcome in relation to the preparation of RDs for consultation with adults with ID about nutritional health issues. A systematic structure, knowledge about nutrition and knowledge about adults with ID and their living situations are needed. An assessment instrument may meet health promotion needs and facilitate longitudinal follow-ups of nutritional problems.
