Biochemical data were taken from their routine medical measurements.

The Mini Nutritional Assessment (especially the version without body mass index) can make routine monitoring of nutritional status of these patients an easier task. However, further studies are needed to develop subtype\u2010specific versions (tools) as various subtypes of intellectual disability are associated with different nutritional problems.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Relevance to clinical practice.\u2002<\/jats:bold>The Mini Nutritional Assessment can serve as a tool for routine screening for under\u2010 and over\u2010nutrition in persons with intellectual disabilities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2702.2011.03877.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,19]],"date-time":"2011-10-19T09:55:14Z","timestamp":1319018114000},"page":"3295-3303","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["The Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) is useful for assessing the risk of malnutrition in adults with intellectual disabilities"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Alan C","family":"Tsai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hsiu\u2010Yueh","family":"Hsu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tsui\u2010Lan","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ridd.2008.10.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0884533608321132"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.numecd.2005.05.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1352\/0895-8017(2004)109<186:NSARFF>2.0.CO;2"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","unstructured":"Bureau of Health Promotion(2007)DOH.
