Life Expectancy of Persons with Down Syndrome.
Eyman, Richard K.; And Others
American Journal on Mental Retardation, v95 n6 p603-12 May 1991
Longevity of 12,543 Down's syndrome clients of the California Department of Developmental Services was examined. Findings indicated that predictors of survival were not different from mortality-related variables in the general population. Lack of mobility or poor feeding skills were better predictors of early death than variables associated with congenital heart disease. (Author/PB)
