“…These findings are similar to reports from Taiwan which found the prevalence of hypertension and dyslipidaemia among adolescents with ID to be higher than the general population (Lin et al . ). However, the data from Western countries are more mixed; studies from countries such as Australia (Wallace & Schluter ) and the USA (Kapell et al .…”

“…Adults with intellectual disabilities (ID), in particular, form a neglected group. Advances in health care that have resulted in increased longevity among the population with ID also make chronic disease management more challenging, given the growing number of middle-aged and elderly persons in these populations (Bigby 2008;Bigby et al 2008;Lin et al 2011). Among those with ID, top causes of mortality include cardiovascular risk factors, respiratory diseases and malignancy (Patja et al 2001;Tyrer & McGrother 2009) while cardiovascular disease and mental disease account for significant morbidity (Beange et al 1995;Hand & Reid 1996).…”

“…But so far, no good solution has been proposed to the government, due in part to the fact that we lack suffi cient research fi ndings on which to base such a solution. The best information we have at present comes from a manager who has reported how his agency plans to address the issue of aging in the future [ 16 ]. One of the few things we can say at this point is that in Taiwan, at least, the greatest service challenges will be at the community level.…”

The rapid growth in the number of individuals living with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) along with their increased longevity present challenges to those concerned about health and well-being of this unique population. While much is known about health promotion and disease prevention in the general geriatric population, far less is known about those in older adults with IDD. Effective and efficient health promotion and disease prevention strategies need to be developed and implemented for improving the health and quality of life of older adults living with IDD. This is considered to be challenging given the continued shrinkage in the overall health care and welfare system services due to the cut in the governmental budget in some of the western countries. The ideal health promotion and disease prevention strategies for older adults with IDD should be tailored to the individuals’ health risks, address primary and secondary disease prevention, and prevent avoidable impairments that cause premature institutionalization. Domains of intervention should include cognitive, mental and physical health, accommodations, workplace considerations, assistive technology, recreational activities, and nutrition.
