“…4-7 As in the general pediatric population, a steady decline in physical activity with age is observed. 8,9 Adverse health outcomes for youth with ID that have been consistently associated with low physical activity include poor cardiovascular fitness, 10,11 low muscular strength and endurance, 12 and high prevalence of overweight and obesity. 10,11,13,14 The underlying causes of low activity levels among youth with ID remain unclear, but a range of personal, social, environmental, and program-related variables likely create obstacles that restrict participation.…”

Background Youth with intellectual disabilities (ID) exhibit low levels of physical activity, but the underlying contributors to behavior are unclear. We compared physical activity enjoyment, perceived barriers, beliefs, and self-efficacy among adolescents with ID and typically developing (TD) adolescents. Methods A questionnaire was administered to 38 adolescents with ID (mean age 16.8 years) and 60 TD adolescents (mean age 15.3 years). Of the original 33 questionnaire items, 23 met the test-retest reliability criteria and were included in the group comparisons. Results Fewer adolescents with ID reported that they have someone to do physical activity with (64% vs. 93%, p<0.001), and a greater proportion of adolescents with ID perceived that physical activities were too hard to learn (41% vs. 0%, p<0.001). Fewer adolescents with ID believed that physical activity is good for their health (92% vs. 100%, p=0.05). More adolescents with ID reported a dislike of individual physical activities (p=0.02). A large proportion of adolescents with ID (84%) responded that they were good at doing physical activities, but the difference between groups was only of borderline significance. (95% of TD adolescents, p=0.06). Conclusions Adolescents shared many of the same perceptions about physical activity, but some important differences between groups were identified.

“…Em relação à CA, que se associa à gordura visceral (intraabdominal) 10 , foi constatado que a maioria dos participantes apresentou risco cardiovascular aumentado ou muito aumentado, sendo mais evidente entre as mulheres e entre participantes com DI moderada. Os achados desta pesquisa corroboram com Wallen et al 14 , que identificaram um padrão aumentado de circunferência abdominal nos adolescentes com DI, e por Lin et al 22 , que observaram obesidade abdominal em 21% dos homens e 51,8% das mulheres tailandeses com DI.…”

ResumoA detecção de condições comórbidas não é bem administrada em pessoas com deficiência, contudo, medidas clínicas simples podem auxiliar na identificação de fatores predeterminantes de doenças cardiovasculares. Assim, este estudo analisou o risco cardiovascular, a partir de indicadores antropométricos e de pressão arterial (PA) de adultos com diferentes níveis de deficiência intelectual (DI). Em um delineamento ex post facto, 114 adultos com DI [29 (9)

High prevalence of cardio‐metabolic risk factors among adolescents with intellectual disability

Abstract: The prevalence of cardio-metabolic risk factors and poor cardio-vascular fitness was found to be high in this young population with intellectual disabilities. Measures should be taken to improve the health messages directed towards children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities.
