Detailed Description

Purpose

There are two main purposes of the study The first is to study the diet and heath of persons with intellectual disabilities. The second is to increase their knowledge on nutrition and health and that of service providers in municipalities housing facilities and to test, in an intervention, the effects of a method for weight reduction in adult persons with intellectual disabilities with overweight and obesity. Physical activity is also an important factor in weight reduction, but this study focuses only on nutrition, to obtain new information on this one factor in weight reduction. A combined study with many changes in a short period of time is very challenging for the group in question.
