一般人口预期寿命的增加导致智力残疾的老年人人数增加，这反映在唐氏综合症患者的预期寿命增加，目前约为56岁。本研究的目的是研究10例老年唐氏综合征患者（平均年龄59岁），13例年轻唐氏综合征患者（平均年龄44岁）的临床特征，功能状态和感觉运动功能，并将其与38例无唐氏综合征的智力残疾成年人和对照组进行比较。所有患有唐氏综合症和智力残疾的人都住在以色列的两个居住生活中心，而作为对照组的31名没有智力残疾的老年人（平均年龄75岁）住在一个独立的生活设施中。该研究考虑了人口统计数据，医学背景，身体和功能测试。结果显示，研究中的唐氏综合症老年人比智力残疾老年人和对照组更肥胖，更矮，医疗问题更多。与其他两组相比，患有唐氏综合征的老年人的功能表现受损更严重。据推测，他们的反应较慢可能是由于身体活动较少的生活方式，这可能会加速疾病的发作，导致与衰老相关的症状，对健康有害。
The increase in life expectancy within the general population has resulted in an increasing number of elderly adults with intellectual disability, and this is reflected in the increased life expectancy in persons with Down syndrome, currently about 56 years. The aim of this study was to study the clinical characteristics, the functional status and sensori-motor function of 10 older persons with Down syndrome (mean age 59 years), 13 younger persons with Down syndrome (mean age 44 years) and compare them with 38 adults with intellectual disability without Down syndrome and a control group of people without intellectual disability. All the persons with Down syndrome and intellectual disability resided in two residential living centres in Israel, while the 31 older persons without intellectual disability (mean age 75 years), who served as the control group, lived in an independent living facility. The study considered demographic data, medical backgrounds, physical and functional tests. The results showed that the older persons with Down syndrome in the study were more obese, shorter and had more medical problems than both the older persons with intellectual disability and the control group. The functional performance of the older adults with Down syndrome was more impaired in comparison with both other groups. It is postulated that their slower responses may be explained by a less physically active lifestyle, that may accelerate the onset of disease, resulting in symptoms associated with aging that are detrimental to health.
