BACKGROUND: Ageing is a continuation of the developmental process and is influenced by genetic and other biological factors as well as personal and social circumstances.
AIMS: To identify some key biological, psychological and social issues relevant to how ageing might particularly effect people with learning disabilities.
METHOD: This selected review considers the extent to which there are similarities and differences relative to people without learning disabilities.
RESULTS: There is a convergence, in later life, between people with a learning disability and those without, owing to the reduced life expectancy of people with more severe disabilities. People with Down's syndrome have particular risks of age-related problems relatively early in life.
CONCLUSIONS: The improved life expectancy of people with learning disabilities is well established. There is a lack of a concerted response to ensure that the best possible health and social care is provided for people with learning disabilities in later life.
