ABSTRACT
This
work studies the characteristics of disabled persons as observed in Abia State.
The ultimate objective of the work is to provide reliable statistical information
that could be used by health agencies, government and international
organizations in planning programmes, policies and carrying out projects aimed
at reducing disability. Simple statistical measures like percentages, rates and
cross tabulation were used to discuss the characteristics of the population and
disabled persons, levels and differentials of disability respectively. Life
tables was employed in investigating the dependence of disability on age and
sex. However, the results showed that disability increases with age, and in
general, reduces economic and social activities, slows down the pace of
development, and affects the health status of Abia State population.
