“…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. Finally, no evidence of publication bias was noted (Fig.…”

“…The pooled prevalence estimate was 15% (95%CI = 10%–20%), with a high level of heterogeneity ( Q (5) = 42, p < 0.001; I 2 = 88). The highest estimate was observed in the USA (25%) by Foley et al , and the lowest in the USA (7%) and South Korea (8%) by Fox et al and Choi et al , respectively.

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.

“…The majority of evidence indicates that individuals with ID are more overweight than their counterparts without ID (Melville et al, 2008;Rimmer & Yamaki, 2006;Stancliffe et al, 2011), but this knowledge is based mostly on western samples from North America and Europe (Bhaumik, Watson, & Thorp, 2008;Emerson, 2005;Frey & Temple, 2008). To date, there are only five papers on the topic of obesity and ID in East Asian countries/territories, specifically Korea (Choi, Park, Ha, & Hwang, 2012), Japan (Ito, 2006), Hong Kong (Frey & Chow, 2006), Taiwan (Lin, Yen, Li, & Wu, 2005), and the ''East Asia'' region (Temple, Foley, & Lloyd, 2014). Three of the papers focused on children and adolescents with ID and found high rates of obesity (Choi et al, 2012;Frey & Chow, 2006;Lin et al, 2005).…”

Ito (2006) found a higher prevalence of obesity among older women with ID living in community settings in Japan.…”

“…Obesity is defi ned as excessive fat accumulation in the body and it is a growing health problem (Ersoy and Ç ak ı r 2007, Choi et al 2012, Wilson 2012. Among the underlying causes of obesity is a positive energy balance that causes weight gain, i.e., when the calories consumed exceed the calories expended.…”

The increasing frequency of obesity is important because of its accompanying related health problems. The effects of obesity on peripheral nerves have not been elucidated. We investigated the effects of obesity on sciatic nerve regeneration using electrophysiology, stereology, immunohistochemistry, histopathology and functional tests. We used control, obese, control injured and obese injured groups of rats. Electrophysiological results showed that nerve conduction velocity and EMG were same in the experimental groups, but the amplitude of the compound action potential of the control group was significantly higher than that of the obese group. Examination of the nerves showed that the control and obese groups had both larger axon diameters and thicker myelin sheaths. The number of myelinated axons was decreased in both of the injured groups. Axon diameters and myelin sheath thicknesses of the control injured group were significantly greater those of the obese injured group. There were no significant differences in functional tests among the groups. Although growth associated protein 43 immunostaining in the control injured group was significantly greater than that of the obese injured group, no significant difference was observed between the control and obese groups. There was no significant difference in immunohistochemical staining for transforming growth factor beta 3 between the control injured and obese injured groups. Our results suggest that obesity may affect peripheral nerve regeneration negatively after crush injury.
