Abstract

This research aims to discuss the isolation, the level of physical activity and the diet of people with Down syndrome, during the pandemic. 24 people participated in this study by means of an electronic form with 45 closed questions. Among the results found, it was found that after an average of 69.87 days of isolation, there was a decrease in the level of physical activity and quality of food, as well as an increase in the body mass index. It was found that people with Down syndrome have characteristics that can aggravate a possible COVID-19 condition and most have contact with people who are not in isolation. It was concluded that actions are urgently needed so that vulnerable groups are not even more exposed in this pandemic moment.
