Abstract
Males with Down syndrome may experience certain health conditions differently than females and may also face unique health concerns throughout their lives. In this webinar, Brian Chicoine, MD, will discuss common health topics affecting males with Down syndrome, including growth and development, muscle health, mental health, fertility, aging, and cancer risk. Attendees will learn about recommended health screenings, signs and symptoms to watch for, and practical ways to support lifelong health and well-being. This session is designed to help attendees better understand the health needs of men with Down syndrome and feel more confident navigating healthcare decisions. The webinar will conclude with a Q&A session.
