A retrospective chart review of forty-nine children with Down's syndrome between the ages of six months and six and a half years seen before 1970 showed that 80 per cent had problems related to food or feeding. An interdisciplinary intervention program utilizing group sessions introduced in 1970 is described. In twenty-one children, most of the nutritional, behavioral, and environmental problems surrounding food previously encountered in children with Down's syndrome were successfully prevented or remedied. The incidence of obesity in Down's syndrome was reduced but not eliminated. Except for parental susceptibility to food faddism, most professional concerns regarding food and eating were non-existent in sixteen of the children reevaluated in a follow-up six years after the intervention program.
一项对1970年前就诊的49名年龄在6个月至6岁半之间的唐氏综合征患儿的回顾性病历审查显示，80%的患儿存在与食物或喂养相关的问题。本文描述了1970年引入的一项利用小组会议的跨学科干预计划。在21名患儿中，唐氏综合征患儿先前遇到的围绕食物的大多数营养、行为和环境问题都得到了成功预防或纠正。唐氏综合征患儿的肥胖发生率有所降低但并未消除。在干预计划实施六年后的随访中，重新评估的16名患儿中，除了父母对饮食时尚的易感性外，大多数与食物和饮食有关的专业问题都不存在了。
