Relationship Between Obesity and Intellectual/Developmental Disability in an Ohio Telepsychiatry Clinic: A Retrospective Review.

Co-occurring intellectual/developmental disability (IDD) and overweight/obesity (OW/OB) is an important consideration of IDD psychiatric care. The relationship between OW/OB and comorbid diagnoses of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and/or IDD remains inadequately described in existing literature. The purpose of this study is to explore these co-occurring diagnoses.
