Abstract
Elderly persons with developmental disabilities are living longer, and a lifelong preventative aging program is essential to ensure a high quality of life during later years. Normal aging changes coupled with age-prevalent illness may lead to decreased physical functioning and increased dependency. Although normal aging is not preventable, these changes must not be accelerated; diseases must be noted early and treated promptly. This article proposes a lifelong preventative aging program for persons with developmental disabilities.
