Little is known about the patterns of sedentary time (ST) and physical activity (PA) levels throughout the week among adults and older adults with Intellectual Disability (ID). We analyzed ST and PA patterns of adults and older adults with ID. Forty-two adults and 42 older adults with mild to severe ID participated in this study. Height and weight were obtained to calculate Body Mass Index (BMI). Body fat and fat-free mass percentages were also obtained. Patterns of PA levels and ST were assessed with GT3X Actigraph accelerometers. Adults performed higher amounts of total PA and moderate to vigorous PA than older adults during the week, on weekdays and in center time (all > 0.05). No differences between males and females were found for either PA levels or ST. Only 10.7% of the participants met the global recommendations on PA for health. The participants of the current study showed low PA levels and a high prevalence of ST. Interestingly, when comparing age and/or sex groups, no differences were observed for ST. Our findings provide novel and valuable information to be considered in future interventions aiming to increase PA levels and reduce ST.
关于智障成年人和老年人一周内久坐时间（ST）和身体活动（PA）水平的模式，目前所知甚少。我们分析了智障成年人和老年人的ST和PA模式。42名轻度至重度智障成年人和42名老年智障人士参与了本研究。测量身高和体重以计算体重指数（BMI）。还获取了体脂和去脂体重百分比。使用GT3X活动记录仪评估PA水平和ST模式。在一周内、工作日和中午时段，成年人的总PA量以及中度至剧烈PA量均高于老年人（均P>0.05）。在PA水平或ST方面，未发现男性和女性之间存在差异。只有10.7%的参与者达到了全球健康PA建议标准。本研究的参与者显示出较低的PA水平和较高的ST患病率。有趣的是，在比较年龄和/或性别组时，未观察到ST存在差异。我们的研究结果为未来旨在提高PA水平和减少ST的干预措施提供了新颖且有价值的信息。
