本文介绍了健康从业者投入的长期影响，以减少智力残疾的成年人肥胖的调查结果。在输入组首次接受输入后6年，测量输入组（N = 33）和对照组（N = 40）的体重指数（BMI）。在基线、6个月、1年和6年时收集BMI数据。输入组的平均BMI在6年内稳步下降。非输入组的平均BMI最初上升，稳定，然后下降（尽管仍高于基线）。输入组在肥胖水平上有所改善，比非输入组减轻了更多的体重。然而，组间差异未达到统计学显著性。这一点以及非投入组BMI的改善可能是由于样本量、效应量和其他地方举措的影响相对较小。
This article presents findings on the long-term impact of health practitioner input to reduce obesity amongst adults with intellectual disabilities. Body mass index (BMI) was measured for an input group (N = 33) and a comparison group (N = 40) 6 years after the input group first received input. Data on BMI were collected at baseline, 6 months, 1 year and 6 years. Mean BMI for the input group reduced steadily over 6 years. Mean BMI in the non-input group rose initially, stabilized and then decreased (although remaining higher than at baseline). The input group demonstrated improvements in obesity levels and lost more weight than the non-input group. However, the differences between groups did not reach statistical significance. This and the improvements in BMI within the non-input group may be due to the relatively small sample size, effect size and the impact of other local initiatives.
