Adults with intellectual disabilities have increasing life expectancy but may be susceptible to early aging-related conditions. The purpose of this study was to examine associations between the presence of low muscle strength, low bone mineral density, and high body mass index with age and sex in adult Special Olympics athletes. Grip strength (n = 6,477; 40.9% female), chair stand time (n = 6,444; 40.5% female), body mass index (n = 7,824; 43.7% female), and bone mineral density (n = 3,091; 43.2% female) measurements were provided by Special Olympics International. Poor grip strength, chair stand time, bone mineral density, and body mass index were identified in 43.8%, 46.2%, 28.7%, and 50.3% of each sample, respectively. Increasing age was a risk factor for all conditions (odds ratio = 1.30-10.89; p < .05). High rates of adverse health conditions were observed in a sample of adults with intellectual disabilities. Increased risk was observed as early as the fourth decade of life.
患有智力障碍的成年人预期寿命不断增加，但可能易患与衰老相关的早期疾病。本研究的目的是调查成年特奥会运动员中低肌肉力量、低骨矿物质密度和高体重指数的存在与年龄和性别的关联。国际特奥会提供了握力（n = 6477；40.9%为女性）、从椅子上站起的时间（n = 6444；40.5%为女性）、体重指数（n = 7824；43.7%为女性）和骨矿物质密度（n = 3091；43.2%为女性）的测量数据。每个样本中握力差、从椅子上站起的时间短、骨矿物质密度低和体重指数高的比例分别为43.8%、46.2%、28.7%和50.3%。年龄增长是所有这些情况的一个风险因素（优势比 = 1.30 - 10.89；p < 0.05）。在患有智力障碍的成年样本中观察到不良健康状况的高发生率。早在生命的第四个十年就观察到风险增加。
