Abstract
This article analyzes the health of children with Down syndrome, their trace element status, vitamin D levels, and the effectiveness of interventions aimed at improving their quality of life. Inclusion of these children in early intervention programs, along with comprehensive support, contributes to the development of self-care skills, enhancement of quality of life, and social integration, as well as the improvement of interdisciplinary approaches to their treatment.
