The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of falls and risk factors for falls in 1,515 adults (≥ 18 years) with intellectual disability using baseline data from the Longitudinal Health and Intellectual Disability Study. Nearly 25% of adults from the study were reported to have had one or more falls in the past 12 months. The prevalence of falls increased with advancing age. A series of univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were performed to identify risk factors for falls in the full sample and in subsamples. The risk factors for falls in adults with intellectual disability are being female, having arthritis, having a seizure disorder, taking more than 4 medications, using walking aids, and having difficulty lifting/carrying greater than 10 lb.
本研究旨在利用智力障碍纵向健康研究的基线数据，调查 1515 名成年人（≥18 岁）的跌倒发生率和跌倒风险因素。研究中近 25%的成年人报告在过去 12 个月中有一次或多次跌倒。跌倒的发生率随着年龄的增长而增加。对全样本和亚样本进行了一系列单变量和多变量逻辑回归，以确定跌倒的风险因素。智力残疾成年人跌倒的风险因素为女性、关节炎、癫痫发作障碍、服用超过 4 种药物、使用助行器以及难以提起/携带超过 10 磅的物品。
