AWM: Adults with Disabilities (2020-21)

Intervention
In adults with overweight or obesity and disabilities, what is the effect of weight management interventions provided by an RDN or international equivalent, compared to usual care or no intervention from an RDN, on outcomes?
- Conclusion
  In adults with overweight or obesity and physical disabilities, very limited evidence suggests that adult weight management interventions provided by a dietitian do not result in diet- or physical activity- related adverse events.
- Grade: Very Low (D)
  - Grade I means there is Good/Strong evidence supporting the statement;
  - Grade II is Fair;
  - Grade III is Limited/Weak;
  - Grade IV is Expert Opinion Only;
  - Grade V is Not Assignable.
  - High (A) means we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect;
  - Moderate (B) means we are moderately confident in the effect estimate;
  - Low (C) means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited;
  - Very Low (D) means we have very little confidence in the effect estimate.
  - Ungraded means a grade is not assignable.
- Evidence Summary: In adults with overweight or obesity and disabilities, what is the effect of weight management interventions provided by an RDN or international equivalent, compared to usual care or no intervention from an RDN, on outcomes?
