Although prevention and treatment of AD are well documented for those without DS, less is known about individuals with DS. This review evaluates the efficacy of AD and dementia interventions in people with DS. It includes 26 articles with 1417 participants ages 18\u201369 in the qualitative synthesis and 17 articles with 1118 participants in the meta\u2010analysis. Four types of interventions demonstrated small\u2010to\u2010moderate effects: pharmacological (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a019), exercise (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a05), environmental (\n                      <jats:italic>n\u00a0<\/jats:italic>\n                      =\u00a01), and cognitive training (\n                      <jats:italic>n\u00a0<\/jats:italic>\n                      =\u00a01).
