“…These pooled prevalence estimates are higher than those found among TD adolescents . Additionally, these findings show that: (i) the highest prevalence estimates of overweight were observed in studies from Australia and the USA , and of obesity in studies from the USA and Turkey ; (ii) the lowest prevalence estimates of overweight were observed in studies from France and South Korea , and of obesity in studies from France . The highest prevalence estimates of overweight–obesity and obesity (>20%) were found in three studies from the USA .…”

“…The pooled prevalence estimate was 18% (95%CI = 16%–21%), with a high level of heterogeneity ( Q (7) = 55, p < 0.001; I 2 = 87). The highest prevalence estimate was observed in Australia (24%) and the USA (23%) by Krause et al and Foley et al , respectively. Conversely, the lowest prevalence estimates were observed in France (13%) and South Korea (13%) by Mikulovic et al and Choi et al , respectively.…”

“…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) ’. Nevertheless, because only two studies were included in this subgroup analysis, these differences should be interpreted with caution and require additional scientific attention. Finally, no significant variations were found in the pooled prevalence estimates for other characteristics of participants with ID, including sex and ID level.…”

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.

“…22,23 There is also evidence that the prevalence of obesity and overweight is greater in adolescents with ID than those without. 23 Recently, a chromosomal deletion associated with autism, ID and overweight/obesity was identified, 24 suggesting that genetic factors have a role in disorders such as obesity in individuals with IDD.…”

The intellectual developmental disorders Mexico study: situational diagnosis, burden, genomics and intervention proposal

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Objective. This study aims to generate evidence on intellectual development disorders (IDD) in Mexico. Materials and methods. IDD disease burden will be estimated with a probabilistic model, using population-based surveys. Direct and indirect costs of catastrophic expenses of families with a member with an IDD will be evaluated. Genomic characterization of IDD will include: sequencing participant exomes and performing bioinformatics analyses to identify de novo or inherited variants through trio analysis; identifying genetic variants associated with IDD, and validating randomly selected variants by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing or real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR). Delphi surveys will be done on best practices for IDD diagnosis and management. An external evaluation will employ qualitative case studies of two social and labor inclusion programs for people with IDD. Conclusions. The results will constitute scientific evidence for the design, promotion and evaluation of public policies, which are currently absent on IDD. ResumenObjetivo. Esta investigación busca generar evidencia sobre trastornos del desarrollo intelectual (TDI) en México. Material y métodos. La carga de la enfermedad por TDI se estimará con un modelo probabilístico usando encuestas poblacionales. Se estimarán costos directos e indirectos de gastos catastróficos de familias con un integrante con TDI. La caracterización genómica de TDI incluirá secuenciar exomas, realizar análisis bioinformático para identificar variantes de novo o heredadas a través de análisis de tríos, identificar variantes genéticas asociadas con TDI, y validar variantes aleatoriamente seleccionadas con reacción en cadena de polimerasa y secuenciación o qPCR. Se harán encuestas Delphi sobre mejores prácticas de diagnóstico y manejo de TDI. Una evaluación externa empleará estudios cualitativos de caso de dos programas de inclusión social y laboral para personas con TDI. Conclusiones. Los resultados serán evidencia científica que podrá ser la base para el diseño, promoción y evaluación de políticas públicas, actualmente ausentes para TDI.Palabras clave: trastornos del desarrollo intelectual; TDAH; trastorno autista; gasto; México

“…In the 2011–2013 Australian Health Survey, over a quarter of adolescents aged 12–17 years and over a third of young adults aged 18–24 years were overweight or obese [5]. Published data on the prevalence of overweight and obesity in adolescents and young adults with Down syndrome indicate even higher levels of overweight and obesity [6,7,8,9]. In a large ( n = 197) population-based Western Australian study, 57.4% of adolescents and young adults with Down syndrome aged 16–30 years were perceived by their parents and carers to be overweight or obese [10].…”

Feasibility of Assessing Diet with a Mobile Food Record for Adolescents and Young Adults with Down Syndrome

et al. 2017

Technology-based methods for assessing diet in those with disability remains largely unexplored. The aim was to assess the feasibility of assessing diet with an image-based mobile food record application (mFR) in 51 adolescents and young adults with Down syndrome (PANDs). Adherence was also assessed with the instruction to include a fiducial marker object in the before and after eating images. The PANDs sample completed a four-day mFR and results were compared with a sample of young adults from the Connecting Health and Technology study (CHAT, n = 244). Compared to the CHAT sample, PANDs participants reported more fruit (2.2 ± 1.8 versus 1.0 ± 0.9 serves respectively) and vegetables (2.4 ± 1.3 versus 1.9 ± 1.0 serves, respectively), but no differences in energy-dense nutrient-poor (EDNP) foods and beverages were observed. Compared to CHAT, PANDs participants captured fewer images with the mFR (4.9 ± 2.3 versus 4.0 ± 1.5 images, respectively). Adherence to the instruction to include the fiducial marker in images was lower for PANDs compared with the CHAT sample (90.3% versus 96.5%). Due to the quality of information captured in images and the high acceptability of the fiducial marker, the mFR shows great promise as a feasible method of assessing diet in adolescents and young adults with Down syndrome.
