Overweight
and obesity in children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities is a
major public health problem. The objective of this study is to estimate the
prevalence of overweight and obesity in sedentary children and adolescents with
intellectual disability (ID) in Kinshasa. A total of 440 children were selected
for this study including 240 with ID (110 girls and 130 boys) and 200 children
without ID (91 girls and 109 boys). The present study took place in five
educational institutions including 4 special and one normal. The weight and
height of the children were measured to allow us to calculate their body mass
index. The logistic regression test was used to identify the determinants of
overweight or obesity, and to measure the association strength of each
determinant (odds ratio). This study reveals that boys with ID are at risk of
developing overweight at age 12-14 (odd ratio = 1.33 [0.87-1.18]), 15-17 years
(odd ratio = 2), 52 [1.61-2.55]) whereas in girls this risk begins already at
the age of 6-11 (odd ratio = 1.28 [0.88-1.91]). With respect to obesity, we
found that children with intellectual disabilities presented the risk of
obesity at ages 6-11 (odd ratio = 1.84 [1.04-1.85]), 12 -14 years (odd ratio =
1.41 [1.07-1.48]) and 15-17 years (odd ratio = 1.48 [1.23-1.73]). In addition,
this study shows that ID subjects were significantly more obese than those with
typical development. The risk of overweight and obesity is present in children
and adolescents with intellectual disability. We suggest that a program based
on diet and exercise can be introduced in Kinshasa special institutions to
minimize the risk of overweight and obesity.
