None of the studies reported the reliability and validity of the methods used to measure sedentary behaviour .
Supporting positive change in lifestyle behaviours is a priority in tackling the health inequalities experienced by adults with intellectual disabilities .
In this systematic review , we examine the evidence on the definition , measurement and epidemiology of sedentary behaviour of adults with intellectual disabilities .
Many research ers do not distinguish between insufficient physical activity and sedentary behaviour .
Disparities in diabetes prevalence and preventable hospitalizations in people with intellectual and developmental disability: a population-based study.
AIMS To describe and compare population -level aspects of diabetes and diabetes primary care among people with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities . METHODS Administrative health data accessed from the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences was used to identify a cohort of Ontarians with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities between the ages of 30 and 69 years ( n = 28 567 ) . These people were compared with a r and om sample of people without intellectual and developmental disabilities ( n = 2 261 919 ) according to diabetes prevalence , incidence , age , sex , rurality , neighbourhood income and morbidity . To measure diabetes primary care , we also studied hospitalizations for diabetes-related ambulatory care-sensitive conditions . RESULTS Adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities had a consistently higher prevalence and incidence of diabetes than those without intellectual and developmental disabilities . Disparities in prevalence between those with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities were most notable among women , younger adults and those residing in rural or high income neighbourhoods . In terms of hospitalizations for diabetes-related ambulatory care-sensitive conditions , people with intellectual and developmental disabilities were 2.6 times more likely to be hospitalized . CONCLUSIONS Adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities are at high risk of developing and being hospitalized for diabetes . The findings of the present study have a number of important implication s related to the early detection , prevention and proper management of diabetes among adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities
