使用人口数据，这项研究包括智力和发育障碍者的父母（n = 220）和无残疾者的父母（n = 1，042）。智力和发育障碍者的父母被进一步分为与成年子女共同居住的父母和成年子女居住在其他地方的父母，并对这3组父母的成就模式、社会参与、心理功能和中年及老年早期的健康状况进行了比较。在中年时期，智力和发育障碍者的父母一般与对照父母相似。然而，到了老年早期，这些父母的健康和心理健康状况较差。在中年（51.4%）和老年早期（38.6%），患有智力和发育障碍的成年人与父母共同居住的情况很普遍，并且根据患有智力和发育障碍的成年人的居住状况，父母的结局有不同的模式。
Using population data, this study included parents of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (n = 220) and parents of individuals without disabilities (n = 1,042). Parents of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities were further divided into those who co-resided with their adult child and those whose adult child lived elsewhere, and the 3 groups were compared regarding parental patterns of attainment, social participation, psychological functioning, and health in midlife and early old age. In midlife, parents of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities were similar in general to comparison parents. However, by early old age, these parents had poorer health and mental health. Co-residence between the adult with intellectual and developmental disabilities and the parent was prevalent during midlife (51.4%) and in the early years of old age (38.6%), and there were different patterns of parental outcomes, depending on the residential status of the adult with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
