Already, some data suggest that learning disabilities are associated with a higher risk for frontotemporal dementia in later life (see Rogalski et al., 2008).
Increased risk of obesity among people with intellectual disabilities is associated with female gender, Down's syndrome, less severe intellectual disability, living in less restrictive care environments and living in more deprived neighbourhoods [ 17, 18, 20, 21, 27, 29, 30].
In an adult study, variables such as pain intensity, number of migraine symptoms, attack duration and disability were associated with increased frequency of consultation [36].
Finally, among clinical aspects of migraine, we found that high levels of attack related disability were associated with reduced executive functioning as assessed by the MoCA executive subscore.
Taking CNS medications and intellectual disability were associated with moderate increases in the hazard of re-incarceration, psychological distress was weakly associated with re-incarceration and a history of self-harm was associated with a decreased hazard.
No changes in disability were associated with persistent alcohol abuse and persistent alcohol dependence.
Within individuals, reductions in disability were associated with increasing self-efficacy (β=−0.10, SE=0.01, P<0.01).
Within individuals, reductions in disability were associated with increasingly positive expectancies (β=−0.38, SE=0.06, P<0.01).
Suicide and schizophrenia disability were associated with a combination of high parental and low own education level.
In the US ARAMIS database high levels of functional disability were associated with the initiation of biological therapy.
