We conducted a narrative synthesis of prevalence rates, including those stratified by intellectual disability level, sex, age and autism, where available, and compared these with published prevalence rates in people without intellectual disabilities (International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews, no.

Study quality was moderate to critically low. For syndromic intellectual disabilities we noted high anxiety rates in fragile-X, Williams and 22q11.2 deletion syndromes, and in those with co-occurring autism.
