Abstract

In the period 1986-1988, a cross-sectional study was carried out in 21 mental deficiency institutions in two provinces of the Netherlands. One of the key-questions of this study was whether there are differences between the younger and older adult mentally handicapped in Dutch mental deficiency institutions, in prevalences of diseases and sensory handicaps, mobility, motor skills and social functioning. In this article, some results of the study are presented.
