More people ‘aging with disability’ than ever before (Sheets, 2011)
Lifelong (early onset ) v. late onset disability (Putnam, 2007)
12 million Americans with lifelong disabilities are aging (Sheets, 2011)
Aging with lifelong disability recent phenomenon (Mosqueda, 2004)
Little is known about disabled people’s lives over time (Heller & van Heumen, 2013)

Largest group of people aging with lifelong disability (Bigby, 2004)
Increasing life expectancy• 641,000 people with developmental
disability over age 60 in US. • Numbers to double and potentially triple by
2030 (Heller, 2013)
Population of older adults with I/DD

Life expectancy similar unless • severe intellectual disability• Down syndrome• cerebral palsy• multiple disabilities (Haveman et al., 2009)

Cascade of health disparities

Impairment
Adverse Childhood Experiences
Poor Health Behaviors
Poor Access to Health Care
Greater Health Conditions Earlier
(Krahn, Hammond & Turner, 2006)

Worse health and more unmet health care needsMore secondary conditions
• Obesity• Constipation• Poor dental hygiene • Skin problems• Osteoporosis and fractures• Diabetes• Incontinence• High blood pressure• Dementia• Depression and other psychiatric issues

• Higher rate of falls• higher risk if female, have arthritis, seizures,
polypharmacy, use walking aids, difficulty lifting/carrying ≥ 10 lbs
• Cardiovascular disease one of the most common causes of death
• Poorer health behaviors• Sedentary behavior• Fewer fruits and vegetables
(Hahn et al., 2016; Haveman et al., 2009; Hsieh, Rimmer & Heller, 2012)

Strategies to reduce disparities
17
Greater knowledge about impairment and treatments
Reduction in poverty and unhealthy environments
Improved health behaviors through health literacy and health promotion
Improved access, accessibility, equity, and effectiveness of health care
Better health and fitness in later life
(Krahn, Hammond & Turner, 2006)

Higher prevalence in Down Syndrome
• 22 % of people 40 years and older
• 56 % of people 60 years and older
Prevalence in people with other types of ID over age 60 similar to general population (Strydom et al., 2009, NTG, 2012)
Prevalence dementia in adults with I/DD

Earlier onset• Mean age in Down Syndrome: 52.8 years• Mean age other ID types: 67.2 years
Early symptoms not as noticeableFaster disease progression in Down Syndrome
• 2-7 years • < 2 years in aggressive Alzheimer’s disease
(Strydom et al., 2009; NTG, 2012)

• Individuals with I/DD might be unable to report symptoms
• Norms and tools general population not useful
• No average premorbid level of functioning• Diagnostic overshadowing and
underrepresentation (Strydom et al., 2009)
Challenges with identifying dementia

Limited recognition of dementia in I/DDLimited experience with specific
presentationLimited screening and assessment
No diagnosis, misdiagnosis, misdirected course of treatment (NTG, 2012)
Current state of affairs

![Page 27: Aging of Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021623/620ae997197b3c584233189b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Conduct early and regular screening• Establish baseline of optimal functioning• Create comparative data to determine decline
(NTG, 2012)
If screening positive, refer for clinical assessmentIf assessment positive, refer for full diagnostic evaluation

Supportive networks evolve across the life course Social networks are important for older people (Cavanaugh, 1999)
Supports and opportunities are needed to develop and maintain a supportive social network to age withInclusion requires connection to others (Bigby, 2005)
A greater focus is needed in practice
