• Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore 1) barriers of physical activity, 2) barriers of healthy eating behavior and 3) strategies to prevent metabolic syndrome for individuals with intellectual disabilities.Methods: Data were collected from parents or staff from institutions providing for the intellectually disabled in an open-ended questionnaire. Valid data were collected from 59 participants who were living or working with the individuals with intellectual disabilities. Content analysis was performed with the KJ method ("card making" and "grouping and naming") which was developed by Jiro Kawakita in Japan. Three co-workers (two public health nurses and one psychologist) summarized the barriers of physical activity or healthy eating behavior and strategies to prevent metabolic syndrome among the individuals with intellectual disabilities.Results: Through the KJ method, twelve groups were categorized as barriers of physical activity, ten as barriers of healthy eating behavior, and fourteen as strategies to prevent metabolic syndrome. Moreover, the twelve barriers of physical activity were summarized as barriers relating to the people with intellectual disabilities (e.g. not being able to start physical activity), to the facilities (e.g. no facilities), and to the people assisting them (e.g. not a support person available). The ten barriers of healthy eating behavior were summarized as barriers relating to the people with intellectual disabilities (e.g. bad dietary balance) and to the people assisting them (e.g. not having a chance to educate the person with disability about diet). The 14 strategies to preventmetabolic syndrome were summarized as strategies relating to eating behavior (e.g. abstaining from snacks), to physical activity (e.g. walking), and other strategies (e.g. keeping logs).Conclusion: To prevent metabolic syndrome among individuals with intellectual disabilities, it is important to break down the barriers to support physical activity and healthy eating behavior based on the results through the strategies on behavioral science.
