    Author: Takeuchi E.
    Journal: Am J Ment Retard; 1994 Nov; 99(3):283-8. PubMed ID: 7865203.
    Abstract:
    The incidence of obesity of children with mental retardation was determined in a sample of 20,031 pupils and students at special schools in Japan. The incidence was higher among girls than boys and in the junior and senior high departments (12 to 17 years) than in the elementary department (6 to 11 years). It was also higher among children with mental retardation of elementary and junior-high age than among children without mental retardation of the same age. The incidence of major diseases among obese children was also determined.
