How long do people who have achondroplasia live ?

Achondroplasia is a genetic disorder of bone growth that is evident at birth. It affects about one in every 25,000 births and it occurs in all races and in both sexes. Its depiction in ancient Egyptian art makes it one of the oldest recorded birth defects.
The vast majority of individuals with achondroplasia have normal intelligence and lead healthy, independent, and productive lives (Rogers et al, 1979). Rarely, intelligence may be affected secondary to hydrocephalus or other CNS complications.

Mean adult height is approximately 131 cm + 5.6 for males and 124 cm + 5.9 for females. Presence of severe disproportionate short stature can cause a number of psychosocial problems.

Life span for heterozygous achondroplasia is usually normal unless there are serious complications. A mean life expectancy is approximately 10 years less than the general population (Hecht et al, 1987).

Homozygous achondroplasia is a lethal condition with severe respiratory distress caused by rib-cage deformity. Radiographic changes are much more severe than the heterozygous achondroplasia. The patients die soon after birth.

Not very long if theres a lot of spiders around.

I looked it up on 3 different sites, & they all said the same thing "Achondroplasia does not cause learning disabilities or shorten life span"

Best of Luck :)
