The aims of this study were to describe the demographic and clinical features of a group of Moroccan individuals with ID living in the Tangier-Tetouan region. Design: This was a retro-prospective and descriptive exploratory monocentric study realized between November 2020 and August 2023. A total of 109 patients with ID were included. They were selected at four mental health centers in the Tangier-Tetouan region. Our data were treated and analyzed using the IBM SPSS version 26. Results: A male predominance of patients with ID was observed in our series (54.4% male vs. 42.6% female). The male-to-female ratio was 1.34. The mean±standard deviation (SD) age of our patients was 11.75±4.87 years, ranging from 1 to 35 years. The mean ages of mothers and fathers at the births of their children with ID were 28.36 and 35.6 years, respectively. Many co-occurring medical conditions were noted in our data (speech delay: 20.5%, concentration problems: 15.1%, hyperactivity: 11.1%, ambulation difficulties: 8.8%, aggressiveness: 8%, vision problems: 6.3%, epileptic seizures: 4%). The consanguinity rate was 26.9 percent. Conclusion: ID associated with genetic causes was significantly correlated with the consanguinity rate in the Moroccan population. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
