Abstract

Objective

Report chronic health conditions are common among adults with disabilities to inform prevention and management efforts in public health.

Design and Setting

This article reports on secondary analysis of 2022 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey.

Participants

Cases with a disability within the BRFSS 2022 dataset were identified by selecting any case that answered “yes” to any of the ACS-6. The BRFSS only includes non-institutionalized individuals 18 years or older.

Main Outcome Measures

Statistics reported include weighted unadjusted prevalence of any chronic health condition among adults with a disability by type of disability and other selected demographic characteristics, weighted unadjusted prevalence estimates for individuals with chronic health conditions by age group and disability type, and prevalence ratios across groups.

Results

Review of the proportions between disability types within demographic strata revealed those with self-care and those with independent living disabilities consistently had the highest, and those with hearing and those with vision-related disabilities had the lowest prevalence of any chronic health condition. Across all age and disability groups, arthritis and depression were among the most common chronic health conditions. Prevalence differences among racial groups in younger age groups were not present among the 65+ age group.

Conclusion

These prevalence estimates can inform health education and chronic health management efforts to support targeted prevention and intervention programs.

美国残疾人慢性健康状况的患病率

慢性健康状况在成年残疾人中很常见。与成年残疾人慢性健康状况的患病率和模式有关的数据有助于将预防和管理工作的重点放在公共卫生方面。本文报告了2022年与残疾和慢性健康状况相关的行为风险因素监测数据。报告的统计数据包括按残疾类型和其他选定的人口特征分列的残疾成人中任何慢性健康状况未经调整的加权流行率，按年龄组和残疾类型分列的慢性健康状况个人未经调整的加权流行率估计数，以及各组间的流行率。对人口阶层内各种残疾类型之间的比例进行审查后发现，具有自我照顾能力的残疾人和具有独立生活能力的残疾人始终是最高的，而患有听力和视力相关残疾的残疾人在任何慢性健康状况中的患病率最低。在所有年龄和残疾人群中，关节炎和抑郁症是最常见的慢性健康状况。在年龄较小的年龄组中，种族间的患病率差异在65岁以上年龄组中不存在。这些患病率估计可以为健康教育和慢性健康管理工作提供信息，以支持有针对性的预防和干预计划。
