What is the average life expectancy of someone with Down syndrome?

The life expectancy of someone who has Down syndrome is generally lower than the average person and is heavily dependent upon a number of factors, but they can be expected to live for about 55-60 years. A large number of people with Down syndrome exhibit heart defects, some treatable to varying degrees. Down syndrome sufferers are usually more vulnerable to infection, and prone to gut, thyroid, sight, and hearing problems. They may also be more likely to suffer from any number of other conditions, including epilepsy, cataracts, and a higher-than-average likelihood of developing leukemia. All these things are a factor in the life expectancy of sufferers of Down syndrome, but advances in treatments and care have yielded gradually higher life expectancy (hence 55-60 years). Unfortunately, by this time many will develop degenerative dementia.
