摘要成人智力残疾（ID）的医疗保健起源于初级保健医生的办公室。随着1970年代和1980年代对这些人的非机构化以及这一人群寿命的增加，更多的成年残疾人生活在社区中。初级保健提供者需要舒适地对待这些有特殊需要的人的条件。ID患者患许多慢性疾病的风险高于平均水平。经常被忽视或诊断不足的一种情况是骨质疏松症。许多关于骨质疏松症的研究已经在绝经后妇女和其他高危人群中进行;然而，我们对ID成人骨质疏松症的评估和治疗的理解仍然存在差距。
Abstract The medical care of adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) originates in primary care physicians’ offices. With the move toward the deinstitutionalization of these individuals in the 1970s and 1980s and the increasing longevity of this population, more adults with disabilities are living in the community. Primary care providers need to be comfortable with treating the conditions of these individuals with special needs. Individuals with ID are at higher than average risk for many chronic conditions. One condition that is often overlooked or underdiagnosed is osteoporosis. Much research regarding osteoporosis has been conducted in postmenopausal women and other high-risk groups; however, gaps remain in our understanding of the evaluation and treatment of osteoporosis in adults with ID.
