The aim of the present study was to calculate the age-and sex-specific standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) in two populations of people with learning disability (LD). These populations included people living in institutions and community settings. It was found that SMRs tended to be raised for both males and females in each population, but SMRs do not always significantly differ from unity. For the combined Register populations, SMRs are generally significantly greater than unity. We conclude that these data provide evidence that death rates for people with LD are often higher than in the general population.
本研究的目的是计算两个学习障碍（LD）人群中按年龄和性别划分的标准化死亡率（SMR）。这些人群包括住在机构和社区环境中的人。研究发现，在每个人群中，男性和女性的SMR往往都有所升高，但SMR并不总是显著不同于1。对于合并的登记人群，SMR通常显著大于1。我们得出结论，这些数据证明了学习障碍者的死亡率往往高于普通人群。
