AB  - BACKGROUND: Some studies suggest that children and adolescents with intellectual 
      disability (ID) are at elevated risk of obesity. The objective was to determine 
      the prevalence of and factors associated with overweight and obesity among 
      students attending special education schools in Cantabria, Spain. METHODS: 
      Cross-sectional design. A sample of n = 220 students with intellectual disability 
      attending seven special education schools was selected using convenience 
      sampling. Body mass index was classified into four categories according to the 
      International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) criteria: underweight; normal weight; 
      overweight; obesity. RESULTS: The prevalence of overweight/obesity was 40.9% (95% 
      CI: 34.6-47.5). Obesity was more frequent among females (26.0%) than males 
      (9.8%), with an OR = 3.23 (95% CI: 1.53-6.85). Participants with Down syndrome 
      showed an increased risk of obesity compared to other conditions (p = .005). 
      CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of overweight/obesity among children, adolescents and 
      young adults with intellectual disability was remarkably high, with females in 
      general and students of both sexes with Down syndrome at particularly high risk.
