Question:

How long do people with down syndrome live?

my cousin has down syndrome- it is a disorder if you didnt know that. she is 17 years old and i was wondering how long they can all live? she has the worst case of it too


Answers:

According to my research, the average life span of someone with downs has changed dramatically in the past few decades. They said that it used to be 25 years back in 1983, but in 1997 it was up to 49 years. There are more advances being made everyday, so it could be much longer in 10 years from now. there is a lot of hope!
