Resumo: | <p>The estimated average survival of people with Down syndrome (DS) is currently over 50 years of age. This demographic finding warrants attention of health professionals who will care for an increasing number of adults with DS. Clinical evaluation of adults with DS should correlate characteristics inherent to the age group, especially the peculiarities produced by the syndrome. The present article proposes the development of preventive and vaccination programs — according to gender and age — and screening of diseases and conditions associated with the syndrome: 1) endocrine diseases; 2) cardiac diseases; 3) mental health; 4) dental care; 5) sensory organs; 6) osteoarticular abnormalities; 7) skin and appendages; 8) gastrointestinal diseases; and 9) cancer. However, there is scant information on the impact of comorbidities on life expectancy and quality of life or on the social and hospital costs of adults with DS.</p> |
