Fox, Robert A.; And Others
Education and Training of the Mentally Retarded, v20 n3 p175-81 Sep 1985
The incidence of obesity was determined to be over 22 percent of 337 mentally retarded children attending a large urban school system. Presence of obesity was not related significantly to sex, age, mental retardation level or race. Based on available comparative data, obesity does show a higher incidence among retarded than among nonretarded children. (Author/CL)
