Abstract
Epilepsy is more prevalent in individuals with intellectual disability (ID) compared to the general population, and this prevalence increases with increasing severity of ID. Epilepsy affects approximately 22% of people with ID, while 25% of people with epilepsy (PWE) have an ID. Epilepsy is associated with significantly impaired bone health including osteoporosis and bone fractures, while individuals with ID are at increased risk of osteopenia and osteoporosis, and vitamin D deficiency.
