How many retarded babies are born each year?

Answer 1

The term "retarded" is considered outdated and offensive; the preferred terminology is "intellectual disability" or "developmental delay." According to the World Health Organization, approximately 1% to 3% of the global population has an intellectual disability. This translates to millions of individuals, with thousands of babies born each year affected by various conditions that can lead to developmental delays. Exact figures vary by region and definition, but comprehensive statistics are often difficult to obtain.
