Intellectual Disabilities

General-population lifestyle interventions often need adaptation for adults with intellectual disabilities. Standard fracture risk tools are not well tailored to adults with intellectual disabilities. People with intellectual disabilities have higher fracture rates than the general population, but their fracture risk is often not assessed. Lifestyle patterns among adults with intellectual disabilities can contribute to reduced fitness, obesity, cardiovascular risk, mobility loss and early mortality. Adults with intellectual disabilities often experience early health problems as they live longer. The modelled cohort included adults aged 40-79 with intellectual disabilities from linked UK primary and secondary care data. Adults with intellectual disabilities aged 40 years and older were the target population for the cost-effectiveness analysis.
