Despite increases in the lifespan of individuals with Down syndrome and the experience of early aging due to the triplication of chromosome 21, little is known about the daily lives of adults with Down syndrome during middle adulthood, the life stage in which many issues of aging begin to emerge. In the general population, leisure activity is a key aspect of daily life that has been shown to contribute to healthy aging. Thus, the present studies examine the leisure activity of middle-aged adults with Down syndrome to identify factors that promote healthy aging, or optimal outcomes despite early physical aging in this population. The overarching goal was to understand the daily leisure activity of middle-aged adults with Down syndrome and determine potential associations between leisure activity and healthy aging, via measures of psychological well-being and Alzheimer's disease neuropathology and cognitive functioning. Findings indicated that, on average, middle-aged adults with Down syndrome participated in roughly 35 minutes of physical leisure, 70 minutes of social leisure, and 150 minutes of cognitively stimulating and passive leisure activity each day. Most commonly, middle-aged adults with Down syndrome self-initiated and self-engaged in leisure activity. At a trend-level, greater weekly time spent in leisure activity was associated with higher (as opposed to lower) global subjective quality of life, as reported by middle-aged adults with Down syndrome. Finally, cognitively stimulating and social leisure activity appeared to contribute to healthy aging and protect against the negative effects of Alzheimer's disease neuropathology on episodic memory. Interventions and services should seek to facilitate and promote the participation of middle-aged adults with Down syndrome in leisure activity, and specifically cognitively stimulating and social leisure activity.
