We analyzed monthly weight records during 30 years in a total of 150 residents who were accommodated by mental disability welfare institution with multiple facilities. IQ of all them were below 30 and the institute roughly managed their meals. In order to omit difference of their heights, Body Mass Indexes (BMI) was calculated from each record. They were divided into 2 groups depending on their applied facilities. One had been from childhood (G-Y) and the other had been accommodated after adult (G-E). Mean age of G-Y linearly increased 1-year-old by 1 year. After 25 -year- old, no clear change was founded in mean BMI of G-Y. Besides, mean age of G-E contained period of fluctuated from linear depending on alternation of new comers. In the period, mean BMI of G-E merely increased. The results suggested that obesity in mental disabilities was not caused on the disability itself but on the other factors. [J Physiol Sci. 2007;57 Suppl:S183]
