Maltreatment can have a profound adverse effect on the health of individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID). People with ID may also be more likely to experience maltreatment than other groups. Historically, data on prevalence of maltreatment among people with ID have been sparse and methodologically weak but have suggested that the scope of the problem is considerable. Studies published between 1995 and 2005 were reviewed to determine estimated maltreatment prevalence among people with ID based on recent literature. Prevalence estimates for people with ID were compared to estimates for people with no disabilities and people with other types of disabilities. Only five studies provided maltreatment prevalence estimates for people with ID. The limited data suggest that maltreatment is more prevalent for people with ID than for people with no disabilities and may be higher for people with ID than for people with certain other disabilities. Most of the available research is still based on convenience samples. More population-level data are needed to provide reliable estimates of the prevalence of this important health problem.
虐待会对智力残疾者的健康产生深远的不利影响。与其他群体相比，智力残疾者也更有可能遭受虐待。从历史上看，关于智力残疾者中虐待发生率的数据一直很稀少，且在方法上存在缺陷，但已表明问题的范围相当大。对1995年至2005年间发表的研究进行了综述，以根据近期文献确定智力残疾者中虐待的估计发生率。将智力残疾者的发生率估计值与非残疾者和其他类型残疾者的估计值进行了比较。只有五项研究提供了智力残疾者中虐待的发生率估计值。有限的数据表明，智力残疾者遭受虐待的情况比非残疾者更为普遍，而且智力残疾者遭受虐待的发生率可能高于某些其他残疾者。大多数现有研究仍基于便利样本。需要更多的总体层面数据来可靠估计这一重要健康问题的发生率。
