Data Source National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) Conducted annually by the National Center
for Health Statistics (NCHS) Large, nationally representative sample of the
household population of all ages in the U.S. Face-to-face standardized interviews in
sample households using laptop computer Free public use data within about six months

Disability, and Health (ICF) Functioning is multi-dimensional: body,
person, community “Disability” includes impairment of body
structure or function, limitation of personal activity, restriction of community participation

Leading medical causes of disability (and prevalence rates)
Disability as defined in this study Back/neck (33%) Arthritis (33%) Fractures (14%) Depression/Anxiety
(13%) Other muskuloskeletal
(12%)
Less serious disability Back/neck (27%) Arthritis (21%) Other muskuloskeletal
(14%) Fracture (15%) Lung (9%)

Leading medical causes of disability: Comments Comparing people with a disability as defined in this
study to people with less serious disabilities: 4 of the 5 leading causes are the same for both groups The prevalence rates of those four causes are similar,
except that arthritis is much higher among persons with disability as defined in this study
People with disabilities as defined in this study are 4 times more likely to have depression/anxiety
![Page 23: Health and Functional Status of Working Age People with Disabilities in the United States Gerry E. Hendershot Consultant on Disability and Health Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5517607c5503463e368b4706/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Summary of Findings Compared to people without disabilities, people with
disabilities are: More likely to be in poor health More likely to have had a recent decline in health More likely to be obese
People with ADL limitations and IADL restrictions are more likely than persons with other types of disability to have adverse health outcomes
![Page 24: Health and Functional Status of Working Age People with Disabilities in the United States Gerry E. Hendershot Consultant on Disability and Health Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5517607c5503463e368b4706/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Conclusion The health of working age people with disabilities is
not as good as that of their counterparts without disabilities.
There are differences in health outcomes among people with different kinds of disability.
The National Health Interview Survey is a good source of statistics on the health of persons with disabilities.
