A population ‐based, cross‐sectional study of the prevalence and correlates of sedentary behaviour of adults with intellectual disabilities

ConclusionsThis is the first study to publish population‐based data on the prevalence and correlates of sedentary behaviour in adults with ID. Compared with adults who do not have ID, adults with ID have higher levels, and different correlates, of sedentary behaviour. A better understanding of the social context of sedentary behaviour will inform the design of effective behaviour change programmes for adults with ID.
