title: [The complex relation between obesity and mental retardation in children].
abstract: In a group of 27 obese mentally retarded children compared with an equal-sized group of children with normal weight the author demonstrates the adverse influence of obesity on the development of mental retardation. The latter is reinforced by other factors. To resolve this problem it would be useful to adhere to preventive measures against the development of obesity, to compensate complications of the basic diagnosis, and in particular a greater activity of health workers.
