Age-Related Physical Health of Older Autistic Adults in Sweden: A Longitudinal, Retrospective, Population-Based Cohort Study

£0.00

Liu, Larsson, Kuja-Halkola, Lichtenstein, Butwicka and Taylor (2023)

This large Swedish cohort study found that older autistic adults face significantly higher risks of age-related physical health conditions and injuries compared to non-autistic peers, with the highest incidence observed for bodily injuries and elevated risks for conditions like heart failure, anaemia, and self-harm. These increased risks underscore the urgent need for targeted healthcare strategies to support healthy aging in the autistic population.
