Outline of Final Research Achievements

Objective: This study aimed to develop a diet-centered obesity reduction program by mothers that can cater to people with severe ID and autism. Methods: The study used an AB design. An intervention based on “behavior analysis” and the “obesity acceptance process of mothers” was conducted with nine mothers and adults with severe ID and autism. The primary outcomes were weight and waist circumference. The outcomes were analyzed at the individual and group levels. Results: Seven adults lost weight, with five losing more than 3%. The rate for implementing behaviors related to at least one target food was approximately more than 80% for all mothers. The adults’ resistance scores were generally low. The Friedman test revealed significant decreases in weight and waist circumference. Conclusions: The program effectively decreased the weight of people with severe ID and autism through changes in maternal behavior. The children’s low resistance reinforced maternal behavioral changes.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は、重度の知的障害者を対象とした初の減量プログラムであり、成人知的障害者の母親を対象とした初の研究である。知的障害者は肥満が多いが、肥満を解消するためのプログラムは、現在十分に検討されていない。特に重度者は健康的な生活を送るために家族への依存度が高い。そのため、知的障害者の肥満を減らすためには、家族、特に母親の行動変容が必要であるが、知的障害者と母親は、密接な関係であることが多く、子どもの楽しみは食事だと考えている。
知的障害者の肥満改善により、介護負担が軽減し、ヘルパー利用がしやすくなり、本人の外出や余暇活動の機会が増え、医療を受けやすくなり、生活習慣病予防や健康寿命の延伸に役立つ。
