Intellectual and Developmental Disability (I/DD)
Intellectual Disability = Limitations in intellectual functioning (IQ < 70) Onset before age 18. Limitations in adaptive skills that interfere with ADLs.
Developmental Disability = Severe, chronic disability = likely to continue
indefinitely Manifested before age 22 Functional limitations in 3 or more areas: self-care,
receptive/expressive language, learning, mobility, self-direction, capacity for independent living, economic self-sufficiency.
Prevalence
~4.6 million to 7.7 million people i.e. 1.5% to 2.5% of general population US Census (2011) = 311,591,917
About 30 million families are directly affected by a person with I/DD at some point in their lifetime. President’s Committee for People with Intellectual

Health Disparities Continued
Underrepresented in research Experience stigma associated with their primary Dx Designated medically underserved population by AMA (December
16, 2011).
Like other Americans, persons with mental retardation (MR) grow up, grow old, and need good health and health care services in their communities. But people with MR, their families and their advocates report exceptional challenges in staying healthy and getting appropriate health services when they are sick. They feel excluded from public campaigns to promote wellness. They describe shortages of health care professionals who are willing to accept them as patients and who know how to meet their specialized needs.

Community Based Participatory Research
An applied, participatory process that includes collaboration of community agencies, key stakeholders and academic researchers in: Conceptualization Active planning, Implementation, and Evaluation of research.
Goals of CBPR: to influence change in community health, systems, programs and health care policies.
Our Partnership Goals:
To identify and work on programs at KenCrest for unhealthy weight targeting overweight and obesity.
To develop health screening tool for caregivers and care recipients
To achieve foundation funding River Crest Grant to conduct chart review – provide
preliminary data for further study.To apply for federal funding
Overweight/Obesity and I/DD
Consistently report higher rates of obesity in adults with I/DD worldwide when compared to general population (Stedman & Leland, 2010).
Associated with: hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, CAD, stroke, osteoarthritis, sleep disturbances, some cancers.
Those with I/DD at risk for Obesity/Overweight because of:
Genetics: Froelich’s Prader-Willi, Down syndrome (DS) Reportedly 86% of teens with DS are overweight
or obese May store fat differently or have altered nutrient
or energy needs (Humphries, et al, 2009)Gender:
Higher prevalence of obesity among women with I/DD “the gender effect is accentuated, placing women with ID at particular risk.” (Melville et al, 2007 p. 225)
Those with I/DD at risk for Obesity/Overweight because of:
Nutrition – considered vulnerable or at risk for malnutrition according to American Dietetic Association (2004)
MedicationsEnvironmental influences = lack of nutrition
knowledge, limited control over food purchasing, food planning or food preparation; finances.
Physical inactivityLiving arrangements = less restrictive (own
home; family home) = have higher prevalence of obesity
Nutrition and Exercise
Nutritionists have not validated a dietary intake assessment for adults with I/DD because of significant barriers to collecting valid data.
Challenges = problems with memory, comprehension, dexterity, literacy, communication, recording, estimating quantities
Physical Activity guidelines are also lacking in adults with I/DD
National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) (1985-2000)
Annual cross-sectional household interview survey
Measures = general health status, acute/chronic conditions, impairment/functional limitations and use of medical services.
Proxy info provided for those not able to respond due to physical/cognitive limitations.
National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) (1985-2000)
Sample = adults with I/DD in community (own home, family home)
Findings higher % of obese adults with I/DD compared to general population = also reflects an increase in obese I/DD over 16 yr period % overweight is similar in both populations
“In summary, a large proportion of adults with intellectual disability was likely to be either obese or overweight.” (Yamaki, 2005. p. 7)
Overweight and Obesity Among Adults With ID Who Use I/DD Services in 20 U.S. States (2011).
Compared National Core Indicators program of 20 states in 2008-2009 with Natl Health & Nutrition Examination Survey: NHANES (2010)
Findings: those with ID not different than general population i.e. Obesity in NCI sample = 33.6% (represents ~2/3 or 62.2% of sample)
Obesity in US sample = 33.8%
Overweight and Obesity Among Adults With ID Who Use I/DD Services in 20 U.S. States (2011).
Found: higher prevalence of obesity among women with ID; those with DS and milder ID.
Found living arrangements: highest prevalence among individuals living in own home (42.8%) and lowest among institutional residents (18.6%).

IDS-TILDA
Sixty one percent of Irish adults with ID are overweight or obese
There was good access to physicians and dentists but one in three adults with an ID reported that they found it difficult to make themselves understood when speaking with health professionals.

IDS_TILDA
Many in the IDS-TILDA sample, particularly those in the younger age cohorts, reported experiencing good health but there were significant concerns in terms of cardiac issues (including risk factors), epilepsy, constipation, arthritis, osteoporosis, urinary incontinence, falls, cancer, and thyroid disease.
