Although the chance of a baby having Down syndrome is higher for older mothers, more babies who have Down syndrome are born to younger women (below the age of 35). This is simply because younger women have more babies.

Life expectancy for people with Down syndrome has increased dramatically over the last century. In 1929, life expectancy was estimated as 9 years. As recently as 1983, the average life expectancy of a person with Down syndrome was 25 years. Now life expectancy for someone with Down syndrome is more than 60 years (and I for one am very happy about that). This dramatic increase is largely attributed to the end of institutionalising people with Down syndrome.

There are 3 ‘types’ of Down syndrome…
🌟 Trisomy 21 - all cells have the extra copy of the 21st chromosome. (95% of the Down syndrome population have T21)
🌟 Mosaic Down syndrome - some of their cells have the extra 21 chromosome (Approx 2% of the Down syndrome population)
🌟 Translocation - when an extra part or whole part of chromosome 21 attaches itself to another chromosome. (Approx 3% of the Down syndrome population)

Down syndrome is usually a completely random and spontaneous change that happens at conception (so there is nothing the parents could have done differently).

Typically, a baby is born with 46 chromosomes, 23 pairs of chromosomes, made up from each parent. Babies with Down syndrome have an extra copy of one of these chromosomes, chromosome 21, hence the medical term for Down syndrome which is Trisomy 21 (3 copies of 21).
