Abstract

Down syndrome (DS) is one of the most common genetic pathologies that alter the human body from a neuronal aspect to a cardio-metabolic aspect. It is a disease that in summary produces an alteration of lipids, sugars, and proteins in the body, so its affectation is multiorganic. The design of this review is based on the idea that diet and lifestyle, together with physical exercise, can positively alter the effects of the disease on the body, so the aim of the review is to search for a relationship between healthy lifestyle and an improvement in the quality of life of people with DS. As a method it has been used the bibliographic review of several articles, clinical cases and original scientific studies related to diet, exercise and lifestyle in individuals affected by DS, taking as inclusion criteria those that mentioned nutrition, physical exercise and DS, and as the main exclusion criterion, those articles that did not mention any of these factors or did not relate them to each other. This review has shown facing results, from studies that show us that there is not enough scientific rigor to declare that lifestyle can influence DS, to studies that, for the most part, show us the opposite, with improvements in the level of health of the participants, which reduces the risk factors that are associated with decreasing the life expectancy of these individuals.
