Results

15 adults in the intervention group and 13 in the control group completed the follow-up. The intervention group showed significantly reduced weight (median; baseline 1, post-intervention 0.975, follow-up 0.983, p < 0.001), and slightly reduced waist circumference (median; baseline 1, post-intervention 0.975, follow-up 0.975, p = 0.226); however, the control group showed no change. Adults' resistance was minimal, maternal implementations were high, and daily food intake decreased.

Baseline Characteristics

The median age of the participants was 31.5 years (range:20-48 years); 18 (64.3%) were male, and the median age of their mothers was 61.5 years (range: 45-75 years). Their median weight was 76.0 kg (range: 50.6-118.5 kg), median BMI was 30.4 kg/m2 (range: 25.7-54.0 kg/m2), and median waist circumference was 103.4 cm (range: 83.0-133.4 cm). Regarding diagnoses, six (21.1%) had severe intellectual disability, 13 (46.4%) had autism only comorbid, one (3.6%) had autism and Down syndrome comorbid, and 4 (14.3%) had Down syndrome complications. No significant differences were observed between the two groups at baseline. One participant in the control group required ambulatory support and occasionally used a wheelchair. Most of the professionals were nurses (n=13, 76.4%).

Participant flow

A total of 31 pairs of mothers and adults with severe ID (including 16 with autism) and 19 nurses and dietitians, from 17 day centers agreed to participate in the study, and 28 pairs of mothers and adults with severe ID and 17 nurses and dietitians from 15 day centers completed the follow-up. The number of participants per day center was 1-3 pairs. Reasons for dropout were nursing burden, leaving the day center, and long-term institutionalization.

Adverse events

No adverse events attributable to the intervention occurred.

Outcome measures

Primary outcomes included the adults' weight and waist circumference. The secondary outcomes were mothers' implementation, adults' scores for inflexible adherence, and daily intake of target food.

Plan to share IPD


IPD sharing Plan description

Recruitment began in May 2022 and ended in April 2023 when there were no more inquiries from facilities of the Aichi Prefecture Association on ID to participate in the study. Data were collected from June 2022 until December 2023. Primary outcomes (weight and waist circumference) were measured by nurses or dietitians who delivered the intervention. Weight (kg) and waist circumference (cm) were measured weekly during a 2-week baseline, monthly during the 4-month intervention, and once 3 months after the intervention. Height was used as the most recent height known by the facility, including physical examinations. Secondary outcomes were target food intake, the adult's score of inflexible adherence, and whether the mother implemented the intervention, which was recorded at home by the mother. As a confounding factor, on the first day of the baseline, the last day of the intervention period, and the last day of the follow-up, experts at the facility, such as nurses, asked mothers to complete a record of the meals eaten during the most recent weekday, and then asked whether there was a change in meals other than the target food and physical activity. The mothers' records and the experts' result sheets were copied by the expert and mailed to the researcher, either in a self-addressed envelope or emailed as a file attachment. In the intervention group, after seven and a half months of data collection, feedback on the program from nurses and mothers was obtained by the researcher, either in person or by telephone.
