A member asked:

Can you please lay out the life expectancy for people who have down syndrome?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Average > 60 yrs: As long as the initial issues facing these infants are addressed as they would for normal kids (heart defects, abdominal defects, etc) they have a projected lifespan in excess of 60 years.
