Methods Young adults were interviewed to assess the prevalence of seven Leading Health Indicators: physical activity, overweight and obesity, tobacco use, substance abuse, responsible sexual behavior, injury and violence, and access to healthcare. Results Young adults with a history of DD were less likely to be involved in tobacco use, substance abuse and sexual activity.

Conclusions Despite some healthy lifestyle indicators, health gaps may place young adults with a history of DD at risk for poor health and quality of life.
