Background: Approximately 19 percent of Americans have a disability. People with disabilities are at greater risk for obesity and poor nutrition, as well as resulting secondary conditions. CDC recommends interventions for this population to address this disparity.
Objective: The purpose of this article is to present the results of a scoping review of studies pertaining to community-based nutrition interventions among adults with disabilities.
Methods: Electronic databases were searched to discover articles pertaining to community-based nutrition interventions for people with disabilities.
Results: Sixteen journal articles published between 2002 and 2012 were reviewed. The reviewed community based nutrition interventions for adults with disabilities showed some success in improving health outcomes.
Conclusions: There is a need for future research, particularly interventions with objective outcome measures and including people with disabilities throughout the development and implementation of programs. Published by Elsevier Inc.
