Medical research

The Down's Syndrome Association has worked with research teams looking at issues including Alzheimer's and dementia in people with Down's syndrome as well as exploration of the possible benefits of vitamin and mineral supplementation for babies with Down's syndrome.  We are in touch with many other research organisations, helping to recruit subjects for worthwhile projects. 

You can read about the research into whether the development and health of young children with Down's syndrome would be improved by taking certain vitamins and mineral supplements by clicking here.
