    • Abstract:
      In Norway, disability pensioning of young adults is increasing. Provided that early habilitation is available, early identification of children at risk might be a measure to counteract this tendency. This conclusion can be drawn from a study including all newborns 1967-72 who were residents in Norway at the age of 24, a total of 380,142 persons. One out of four who received basic grant/attendance benefit in childhood was disability pensioned before the age of 25. On the other hand, nearly half of the 24-year-olds drawing disability pension had not received any previous assistance from the social security system in childhood. Thus, additional methods should be employed in the early identification and habilitation of children at high risk of developing permanent disability. A formalised co-operation between parents, the local health services, humanitarian organisations and the local social security office assisted by the Medical Birth Registry of Norway might contribute to the prevention of permanent disability in young age.
