Based on standard social benefit registers, the prevalence of intellectual disability (ID) in Finland is estimated to be 0.6%, while epidemiological surveys yield 1.1%. Combining several registers, our aim was to find a more reliable estimate of the prevalence of ID, especially among children and adolescents. This is important when special or inclusive general services are planned to meet the various needs of people with ID.
A survey based on eight national health and social benefit registers.
Combining different registers yielded a mean ID prevalence of 0.70% (95% CI 0.69-0.70%), with marked differences according to sex and age group (range 0.38-0.96%). Capture-recapture analysis gave higher prevalence estimates (range 0.57-1.08%).
When several health and social benefit registers are surveyed, the estimated prevalence of ID increases, approaching that obtained in epidemiological surveys.
根据标准社会福利登记册，芬兰智力残疾（ID）的患病率估计为0.6%，而流行病学调查得出的患病率为1.1%。综合多个登记册，我们的目标是找到更可靠的ID患病率估计值，尤其是在儿童和青少年中。在规划特殊或包容性的一般服务以满足ID患者的各种需求时，这一点很重要。
基于八个国家健康和社会福利登记册进行调查。
综合不同登记册得出的ID平均患病率为0.70%（95%置信区间0.69 - 0.70%），根据性别和年龄组存在显著差异（范围为0.38 - 0.96%）。捕获 - 再捕获分析得出的患病率估计值更高（范围为0.57 - 1.08%）。
当对多个健康和社会福利登记册进行调查时，ID的估计患病率会增加，接近流行病学调查得出的结果。
