Obesity and Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

A Research to Policy Brief

Obesity is an increasingly common condition that is characterized by an increase in the number and size of fat cells in the body. Obesity rates are a concern for the general population, but research findings consistently report even higher rates of obesity among individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report approximately 35% of the general population is obese, while the rate of obesity among adults with IDD is as high as 58.5% in the United States. The consequences of obesity predispose adults with IDD to a greater risk of secondary health conditions that can impair their health status and quality of life.

The emergence of accessible health promotion initiatives for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) over the past 20 years demonstrates great promise for improving their health status.
