Teen drug and alcohol use continues to fall, new federal data show
Has this syndrome ever had any link to drug use (of any kind) ..??
I only ask because there’s been such an increase in drug use and also an increase to this syndrome.
Actually lack of one of the B vitamins in diet. Teen girls tend to have babies with Trisomy 21 a lot. Then again what is the first thing a teen girl does if she things she is pregnant? Yes, she diets hard! Not the thing to do if one is pregnant. This is one of the reason pre natal vitamins are high in one of the B vitamins, I just can’t remember which one. It is believed that the B vitamin affects brain and nervous system growth early on in conception. A lack of it, or very low amounts can lead to trisomy 21.
The older that a couple gets pregnant the greater the chances are that the child they conceive will have Trisomy 21.
There has been a sharp downturn in childbearing in women 15-30, a sharp unturn in women 31-45. That may result in an uptick in cnceptions of babies who are affected by this Trisomy defect.
FWIW my wife and I have three children. Our youngest is three years old and has Downs Syndrome.
He’s truly a gift from God, just like our others.
And neither of us does drugs.
