Type 2 diabetes and glucose intolerance in a population with intellectual disabilities: the STOP diabetes cross ‐sectional screening study

ConclusionsResults from this large multi‐ethnic cohort suggest a low prevalence of screen‐detected (previously undiagnosed) type 2 diabetes and impaired glucose regulation in adults with ID. However, the high levels of overweight and obesity we found emphasise the need for targeted lifestyle prevention strategies, which are specifically tailored for the needs of people with ID.
