对居住在挪威西海岸的 282 名智障人士进行了体重不足和肥胖的患病率调查。这项调查收集的数据表明，重度智力低下的人更有可能体重不足，而轻度智力低下的人更有可能肥胖。与平均智力水平的人相比，智力低下的人体重不足和肥胖的人数过多。拒食和自我催吐在体重不足的人群中更为常见，并且对食物摄入的控制减少与肥胖有关。研究结果表明，行为变量可能对体重不足和肥胖具有解释价值。建议使用行为功能分析进行进一步调查。 (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Prevalence of underweight and obesity were investigated in 282 mentally retarded persons living on the West Coast of Norway. Data collected in this survey suggest that people with severe mental retardation were more likely to be underweight and people with mild mental retardation were more likely to be obese. Compared to persons of average intellectual levels, persons with mental retardation were found to be over-represented with both underweight and obesity. Food refusal and self-induced vomiting was more present among persons regarded as underweight and reduced control of food intake was related to obesity. Findings suggest that behavioral variables may have explanatory value with respect to both underweight and obesity. Further investigation using functional analysis of behavior is recommended.
