An evaluation was conducted to compare the impact of an 8-week cardiovascular disease risk reduction group teaching program for 92 individuals with mental retardation (MR; IQ less than 70) and 97 normal learners. The curriculum emphasized exercise, nutritional choices, and stress reduction. Body Mass Index (BMI; weight in kilograms, divided by height in meters, squared), knowledge of healthy eating choices, self-report of fruit and vegetable intake, and exercise were measured before and after the intervention. The mean BMI decreased by .89 for normal learners and not at all for the group with MR. However, BMI decreased by at least .75 units (or approximately 5 pounds) for 18.5% of individuals with MR and 44.3% of normal learners.
对92名智力障碍(MR;智商低于70)个体和97名正常学习者开展了一项评估,以比较为期8周的心血管疾病风险降低小组教学计划的影响。该课程强调运动、营养选择和减压。在干预前后测量了体重指数(BMI;千克体重除以米制身高的平方)、健康饮食选择知识、水果和蔬菜摄入量的自我报告以及运动情况。正常学习者的平均BMI下降了0.89,而智力障碍组则完全没有下降。然而,18.5%的智力障碍个体和44.3%的正常学习者的BMI至少下降了0.75个单位(或约5磅)。
