Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted on 219 adults with spina bifida to explore their health issues and living conditions through interviews, questionnaires, and clinical assessments.
- Findings showed that younger adults (under 46) faced more secondary health complications, while older adults (over 46) generally had better mobility and cognitive test performance.
- The research highlights the need for ongoing support and follow-up for adults with spina bifida to address their diverse physical and social challenges, especially as they age.
