Karyotype of a human with Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome). Trisomies can occur with any chromosome, but often result in miscarriage rather than live birth.For example, Trisomy 16 is most common in human pregnancies, occurring in more than 1%, but the only surviving embryos are those having some normal cells in addition to the trisomic cells (mosaic trisomy 16).

Human conditions due to monosomy: Turner syndrome – Females with Turner syndrome typically have one X chromosome instead of the usual two X chromosomes. Turner syndrome is the only full monosomy that is seen in humans — all other cases of full monosomy are lethal and the individual will not survive development.
Also monosomies can present with some form of mosaicism. The only non-lethal full monosomy occurring in humans is the one causing Turner's syndrome. Around 30% of Turner's syndrome cases demonstrate mosaicism, while complete monosomy (45, X) occurs in about 50–60% of cases. Mosaicism isn't necessarily deleterious, though.
A karyotype of an individual with trisomy 21, showing three copies of chromosome 21.. An abnormal number of chromosomes is known as aneuploidy, and occurs when an individual is either missing a chromosome from a pair (resulting in monosomy) or has more than two chromosomes of a pair (trisomy, tetrasomy, etc.).
A study published in 2019 of more than 7,700 English adults over 50 found people who report experiencing ageism are more likely to say they are in poor health or have symptoms of depression.

Though rare, some persons with Trisomy 18 do survive into their twenties and thirties with the current eldest being well over 50 years. Current ongoing research in the University of Michigan shows survival rate with full interventions are about 90% until first birthday, 80% until 5 yrs. [22]
We looked at all 50 states to determine where seniors are getting the best mental health care and where they may be more at risk. We analyzed four data points to rank the states.
