Abstract

Background Adults with intellectual disabilities have been shown to experience higher rates of obesity in comparison to the general population. Aim To examine the effectiveness of randomised controlled trials of multi-component weight management interventions for adults with intellectual disabilities and overweight/obesity. Methods and procedures A systematic search of six electronic databases was conducted from database inception to January 2016. Risk of bias was assessed by the Cochrane Collaboration tool. Behavioural change techniques were defined by coding against the Coventry Aberdeen LOndon REfined (CALO-RE) taxonomy. Meta-analyses were conducted as Weighted Mean Difference (WMD) between intervention and control/comparator intervention. Outcomes and results Six randomised controlled trials were included. The interventions did not adhere to clinical recommendations [the inclusion of an energy deficit diet (EDD), physical activity, and behaviour change techniques]. Meta-analysis revealed that current multi-component weight management interventions are not more effective than no treatment (WMD: -0.38kg; 95% CI -1.34kg to 0.58kg; p=0.44). Conclusion and implications There is a paucity of randomised controlled trials of multi-component weight management interventions for adults with intellectual disabilities and overweight/obesity. Current interventions, based on a health education approach are ineffective. Future long-term interventions that include an EDD and adhere to cli…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
