AB  - OBJECTIVES: To obtain first insight into prevalence and correlates of frailty in 
      older people with intellectual disability (ID). DESIGN: Population-based 
      cross-sectional study in persons using formal ID services. SETTING: Three Dutch 
      care provider services. PARTICIPANTS: Eight hundred forty-eight individuals with 
      borderline to profound ID aged 50 and older participating in the Healthy Ageing 
      and Intellectual Disability (HA-ID) Study. MEASUREMENTS: All participants 
      underwent an extensive health examination. Frailty was diagnosed according to 
      Cardiovascular Health Study criteria. Associations between frailty and 
      participant characteristics were investigated using multivariate logistic 
      regression analysis. RESULTS: Prevalence of frailty was 11% at age 50 to 64 and 
      18% at age 65 and older. Age, Down syndrome, dementia, motor disability, and 
      severe ID were significantly associated with frailty, but only motor disability 
      had a unique association with frailty. In a regression model with these 
      variables, 25% of the variance of frailty was explained. CONCLUSION: At age 50 to 
      64, prevalence of frailty is as high as in the general population aged 65 and 
      older (7-9%), with a further increase after the age of 65. Motor disability only 
      partially explains frailty. Future studies should address health outcomes, 
      causes, and prevention of frailty in this population.
