No, it's not. Where doctors draw the line for high risk varies, but it's usually between 1 in 225 and 1 in 300. 1 in 760 is a reasonably low risk for Down syndrome.
Some possible causes of Lipodystrophy are Antiretroviral therapy, HIV, and AIDS wasting syndrome. Some risk factors include being older, being white, and being obese or having significant weight change.

Umm, no. You're either born with or without Down syndrome. It's not a disease, it's a genetic condition.
Older women who give birth have a much higher chance of having a baby with Down syndrome than do other women.
