Draheim, Christopher C.; Williams, Daniel P.; McCubbin, Jeffrey A.
American Journal on Mental Retardation, v107 n5 p361-75 Sep 2002
A study identified 145 adults with mild mental retardation and hyperinsulinemia, borderline high triglycerides, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, hypertension, and abdominal obesity. Those who participated in more frequent bouts of physical activity or who consumed lower dietary fat intakes were one-third as likely to have hyperinsulinemia and abdominal obesity.
