Changes in the prevalence of intellectual disability among 10-year-old children in Sweden during 2011 through 2021: a total population study
The recorded prevalence of diagnosed mild and moderate intellectual disability among 10-year-olds in Sweden has increased over the recent decade. This increase could not be explained by changes in associated sociodemographic or perinatal factors, including birth weight, gestational age, and parental age, migration status, and education at the child's birth. The increase instead may be due to changes in diagnostic practices in Sweden over time.
