Abstract
(1) Background: Down syndrome is characterized by physical abnormalities, intellectual disability (ID), and specific patterns of other health issues. Additionally, individuals with DS are known to experience premature aging and early onset of certain age-related medical conditions. These conditions are linked to higher incident disability and reduced survival rates compared to the general population. (2) Methods: Between July 2022 and February 2024, we conducted a prospective, observational study in the Cardiovascular Rehabilitation Clinic at Iasi Clinical Rehabilitation Hospital. The study included 28 patients diagnosed with Down Syndrome and a control group. Interdisciplinary interventions were tailored to address the needs of a complex patient, incorporating cardiological, endocrinological, genetical, biological and developmental support. Data on physical health, cognitive development, and psychosocial well-being were collected. (3) Results: Our DS group consisted of 11 (39%) females and 17 (61%) males. Their age ranged from 20 to 55 years with a mean of 28.07 ± 9.51. All patients were unmarried, living in urban areas, without a partner but with family support. In the study sample, 96.4% of participants had three or more comorbidities. (4) Conclusions: The high prevalence of multimorbidity, combined with little medication, contributes to a high level of clinical complexity, which appears to be similar to the one of the older non-trisomic population. As individuals with Down syndrome transition into adulthood, they may require a more comprehensive and holistic approach to their healthcare.
