We were delighted to welcome Mr. Philip O'Donnell, IDS-TILDA participant, to IDEAS 2024. Philip shared his positive and uplifting experience as a participant over five waves across the past 15 years and discussed the benefits of being part of the study with @MccarrmMary. His insights on maintaining a healthy lifestyle were inspiring! #IDEAS2024 #HealthyAgeing #LifeLongLearning #PPI @PPI_Ignite_Net @PPI_Ignite_TCD

📢 New Publication from TCAID! 📢 Our latest article, "An Exploration into Self-Reported Inactivity Behaviours of Adults with an Intellectual Disability using Physical Activity Questionnaires," delves into inactivity levels in this population. 💡 Background: Inactivity is linked to adverse health outcomes. Adults with intellectual disability are often more inactive than their peers, with more complex health needs. It is important to have an accurate understanding of activity levels in adults with intellectual disability, so that appropriate interventions may be designed. Self-reported questionnaires like IPAQ-SF and RAPA are widely used to assess activity, but their reliability in this group is debated. 💡Key findings: - 3 correlates of inactivity in this population were identified: getting up later, epilepsy and mobility issues. - Weak inter-questionnaire correlations were seen. This highlights the need for better tools to accurately assess inactivity for this population! Read more here: doi.org/10.1111/jir.13…
