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. 

The medical results of the Vitamins and Minerals research as produced in the British Medical Journal (26th Feb 2008, Vol 336/Issue 7641) can be read by clicking here.
