Intellectual disability (ID) is considered one of the most common human disorders characterized by significant deficits in cognition and functional and adaptive skills. The aims of this study were to describe the demographic and clinical features of a group of Moroccan individuals with ID living in the Tangier-Tetouan region.
This was a retro-prospective and descriptive exploratory monocentric study realized between November 2020 and August 2023. A total of 109 patients with ID were included. They were selected at four mental health centers in the Tangier-Tetouan region. Our data were treated and analyzed using the IBM SPSS version 26.
A male predominance of patients with ID was observed in our series (54.4% male vs. 42.6% female). The male-to-female ratio was 1.34. The mean±standard deviation (SD) age of our patients was 11.75±4.87 years, ranging from 1 to 35 years. The mean ages of mothers and fathers at the births of their children with ID were 28.36 and 35.6 years, respectively. Many co-occurring medical conditions were noted in our data (speech delay: 20.5%, concentration problems: 15.1%, hyperactivity: 11.1%, ambulation difficulties: 8.8%, aggressiveness: 8%, vision problems: 6.3%, epileptic seizures: 4%). The consanguinity rate was 26.9 percent.
ID associated with genetic causes was significantly correlated with the consanguinity rate in the Moroccan population.
智力残疾(ID)被认为是最常见的人类疾病之一,其特征是认知、功能和适应技能存在显著缺陷。本研究的目的是描述居住在丹吉尔-得土安地区的一组摩洛哥智力残疾个体的人口统计学和临床特征。
这是一项于2020年11月至2023年8月开展的回顾性、前瞻性和描述性探索性单中心研究。共纳入109例智力残疾患者。他们是在丹吉尔-得土安地区的四个心理健康中心挑选出来的。我们的数据使用IBM SPSS 26版进行处理和分析。
在我们的研究系列中观察到智力残疾患者以男性为主(男性占54.4%,女性占42.6%)。男女比例为1.34。我们患者的平均年龄±标准差(SD)为11.75±4.87岁,年龄范围为1至35岁。孩子患有智力残疾的母亲和父亲在孩子出生时的平均年龄分别为28.36岁和35.6岁。我们的数据中记录了许多共病情况(语言发育迟缓:20.5%,注意力不集中问题:15.1%,多动:11.1%,行走困难:8.8%,攻击性:8%,视力问题:6.3%,癫痫发作:4%)。近亲结婚率为26.9%。
在摩洛哥人群中,与遗传原因相关的智力残疾与近亲结婚率显著相关。
