Why we should care?

• The Facts:

• One person in three (1 in 3) with a learning disability who are obese (compared to one in five (1 in 5) of the general population)

• What else do we know?

The real facts?• Women, people with Down’s syndrome, people of higher ability and

people living in less restrictive environments are at increased risk of obesity .

• Less than 10% of adults with learning disabilities in supported accommodation eat a balanced diet, with an insufficient intake of fruit and vegetables.

• Carers generally have a poor knowledge about public health recommendations on dietary intake.

• Over 80% of adults with learning disabilities engage in levels of physical activity below the Department of Health’s minimum recommended level, a much lower level of physical activity than the general population (53%-64%),

• People with more severe learning disabilities and people living in more restrictive environments are at increased risk of inactivity.

• The rate of Type 2 Diabetes in people with learning disabilities is double that of general population.
