Abstract

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.

成年特奥会运动员的低肌肉力量、低骨密度和高身体质量指数:一项横断面检查。

智力残疾的成年人预期寿命延长，但可能易患与早衰有关的疾病。本研究的目的是检查成年特奥会运动员中存在的低肌肉力量、低骨密度和高体重指数与年龄和性别之间的关系。握力(n = 6,477;40.9%女性)、椅子站立时间(n = 6,444;40.5%女性)，体重指数(n = 7,824;43.7%女性)，骨密度(n = 3,091;(43.2%为女性)测量值由国际特奥会提供。握力、站椅时间、骨密度和体质指数较差的比例分别为43.8%、46.2%、28.7%和50.3%。年龄增长是所有疾病的危险因素(优势比= 1.30-10.89;P < 0.05)。在智力残疾的成年人样本中观察到不良健康状况的高发率。早在生命的第四个十年就观察到风险增加。

期刊介绍： APAQ is an international, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal designed to stimulate and communicate scholarly inquiry relating to physical activity that is adapted in order to enable and enhance performance and participation in people with disability. Physical activity implies fine, gross, functional, and interpretive movement including physical education, recreation, exercise, sport, and dance. The focus of adaptation may be the activity or task that is to be performed, environment and facilities, equipment, instructional methodology, and/or rules governing the performance setting. Among the populations considered are persons with motor, intellectual, sensory, and mental or other disabilities across the life span. Disciplines from which scholarship to this aim may originate include, but are not limited to, physical education, teacher preparation, human development, motor behavior and learning, biomechanics, exercise and sport physiology, and exercise and sport psychology. Scientific inquiry may originate from quantitative or qualitative inquiry, as well as from multimethod designs.
