Down Syndrome Statistics

From heart disease and sleep apnea rates around 32% and 20% to hearing loss in about half of children and thyroid disease in 40% of adults, this page puts the most common health and development challenges for Down syndrome side by side with clear estimates. It also tracks how risk shifts across the lifespan, from age 35 to about 1 in 350 and age 40 to about 1 in 100, and follows what that means for care needs and outcomes.
