Abstract Background Inactivity is a correlate of adverse health. Adults with an intellectual disability (ID) are more inactive than the general population and often present complex health issues. Self‐reported activity questionnaires such as International Physical Activity Questionnaire – Short Form (IPAQ‐SF) Rapid Assessment (RAPA) questionnaire predominant source information because their low cost, non‐invasive nature, ease administration interpretation results. Methods Correlates...
Background: Current thinking in health recognises the influence of early life experiences (health and otherwise) on later outcomes. The course approach has been embedded work World Health Organisation since Ageing programme was established 1995. Yet there limited debate relevancy a lens to understanding service utilisation. Aim: aim review twofold. Firstly, identify existing healthcare utilisation frameworks other than dominant Andersen's behavioural model currently use. Secondly, if current...
Many patients with cancer suffer from pain – caused by the itself, its treatment or other causes. In majority of patients, this can be managed analgesics and adjuncts as recommended World Health Organization analgesic ladder. a significant minority around 10%, either is not controlled drugs adverse effects are intolerable; interventional procedures should considered for these patients. These range simple nerve blocks spinal injections to more complex techniques such intrathecal drug delivery...
This study presents the findings of an investigation into self-reported TV habits adults with intellectual disability, where time watching was used as a proxy for sedentary behaviour (SB). Risk factors identified general and disability populations standard covariates age, sex, level living circumstances BMI were explored to determine their viability contributors increased viewing SB. Missing data imputed using Multiple Imputation Chained Equation (MICE). Multinomial logistic regression...
ABSTRACT Background The positive impact of physical activity on health is widely known. A comparison between activPAL objective measures and International Physical Activity Questionnaire short form (IPAQ‐SF) self‐reported levels was completed with older adults intellectual disability. Understanding differences the two methodologies will better support interpretations findings recommendations. Methods ActivPAL including intensity, time type were considered for 72 participants. Similarly,...
Health and performance monitoring technologies are commonly used by athletes. Obese people on the other hand benefit less from empowering that address their specific needs. It would arguably have a substantial positive impact if such could promote more active lifestyle. The consequential costs of obesity matter great concern for health professionals European policy makers alike. EU-funded STop Obesity Project (STOP) addresses these shortcomings. Its main work results platform gamified app...
