Systematic Review of the Prevalence and Incidence of Intellectual Disabilities: Current Trends and Issues
TL;DR: Heterogeneity in study settings, methodologies, age groups, and case definitions contributed to a range of prevalence estimates, and future research should include reproducible and consistent definitions of intellectual disabilities and monitor changes in prevalence over time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using an accumulation of deficits approach to measure frailty in a population of home care users with intellectual and developmental disabilities: an analytical descriptive study
TL;DR: Using the FI to identify frailty in adults with IDD is feasible and can be incorporated into existing home care assessments, and could offer case managers assistance in identifying at-risk individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Book ChapterDOI
A Review of Health Surveillance in Older Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
TL;DR: A population-based study in Ontario, Canada, is reported on, which confirms earlier reports of increasing numbers of older adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, premature aging in this population, and expected trends in use of home care and admission to long-term care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Applying a General Measure of Frailty to Assess the Aging Related Needs of Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
