  1. Figures show SMRs (95% CI) adjusted for age and sex. Population rates for dementia were taken from Prince et al. [18], all other rates taken from McManus et al. [19]. If the CI for the SMR includes 1, there is no significant difference in rates for adults with DS and population rates. An SMR lower than 1 indicates the prevalence in adults with DS is lower than UK population rates. A value higher than 1 indicates the prevalence in adults with DS is higher than UK population rates. Non-overlapping CIs in SMRs for males and females indicate a significant sex difference relative to the population difference.
