“…They have a shorter life expectancy and mostly die at young ages (Glover et al 2017). Cardiovascular and respiratory diseases and neoplasms are the most common causes of death in adults with IDDs (Patja et al 2001;Glover et al 2017;Trollor et al 2017;O'Leary et al 2018;Cooper et al 2020;Shooshtari et al 2020;Kim et al 2022). A US national survey has reported that heart disease is the leading cause of death in adults with IDDs.…”

BackgroundAdults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) experience eating, drinking and swallowing problems, such as chewing problems, choking, gagging, coughing during eating, aspiration and rumination syndrome, which may lead to poor nutritional status. This study aimed to determine the relationship between IDD levels, eating, drinking and swallowing problems and nutritional status in adults with IDDs.MethodsThe sample consisted of 71 participants (37 men and 34 women) with a mean age of 22.5 ± 7 years (range 18–60 years). Professionals classified intellectual disability as mild, moderate or severe. The Screening Tool of Feeding Problems scale was applied to the caregivers of adults with IDDs to identify eating, drinking and swallowing problems. Dietary intake was assessed using a 24‐h dietary recall and a food and nutrition photograph catalogue. The researchers measured body weight, height and middle upper arm circumference. Body mass index was calculated. Four body mass index categories were determined: underweight (<18.5 kg/m2), normal weight (18.5–24.9 kg/m2), overweight (25.0–29.9 kg/m2) and obese (≥30 kg/m2). Chi‐squared tests were used to detect the relationship between IDD levels and eating and drinking problems, and analysis of variance tests were conducted to detect the relationship between IDD levels with anthropometric measurements and dietary intake.ResultsParticipants had mild (42.3%; n = 30), moderate (29.6%; n = 21) or severe IDD (28.2%; n = 20). They were underweight (12.7%; n = 9), normal weight (59.2%; n = 42) or overweight and/or obese (28.2%; n = 20). Participants with severe IDD had significantly higher Screening Tool of Feeding Problems ‘nutrition‐related behaviour’ and ‘eating and drinking skill deficit problem’ sub‐scale scores than those with mild IDD. However, the groups had no significant difference in ‘food refusal and selectivity’ sub‐scale scores. Participants with severe IDD also had anorexia prevalence similar to those with mild IDD. The groups did not significantly differ in anthropometric measurements, daily energy intake and macronutrient and micronutrient intake.ConclusionsWhile adults with severe IDD had more eating and drinking skill deficits (e.g. chewing problems and independent eating difficulties) and nutrition‐related behaviour problems than those with mild IDD, the eating, drinking and swallowing problems, which may critically affect their food intake, were similar to adults with mild IDD. The anthropometric measurements and energy and nutrient intakes of adults with severe IDD were not significantly different from those with mild IDD consistently. Findings indicate that nutritional deficiencies and nutritional behaviour problems may be avoidable in adults with IDDs.

Background To date, no studies have investigated the prevalence of post-COVID-19 conditions in patients with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). Addressing this research gap is crucial, as understanding post-COVID-19 conditions in IDD patients can improve care planning, and it is essential not to overlook this vulnerable population in COVID-19 studies. This study was aimed at investigating the prevalence of post-COVID-19 conditions in patients with IDD and compare their risk with that of the general population. Methods Using the TriNetX network, we identified patients with and without an IDD who had COVID-19. Subsequently, we compared the risk of developing any post-COVID-19 condition between these two groups, during the 90–180-day follow-up after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Results During the follow-up, patients with an IDD exhibited a significantly higher prevalence of post-COVID-19 conditions compared to the general population (hazard ratio [HR], 1.120; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.053–1.191). Specifically, COVID-19 survivors with IDD had a significantly increased risk of experiencing abnormal breathing (HR, 1.216; 95% CI: 1.077–1.373), abdominal symptoms (HR, 1.259; 95% CI: 1.128–1.406), fatigue (HR, 1.397; 95% CI: 1.216–1.606), anxiety/depression (HR, 1.157; 95% CI: 1.050–1.274), cognitive symptoms (HR, 1.828; 95% CI: 1.529–2.186), myalgia (HR, 1.325; 95% CI: 1.077–1.631), sleep disturbances (HR, 1.481; 95% CI: 1.148–1.910), and cough (HR, 1.315; 95% CI: 1.146–1.508) compared to the non-IDD group. Conclusions Patients with IDD might be associated with a higher risk of post-COVID-19 conditions following SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to the general population.
