¡Las discapacidades NOS AFECTAN A TODOS!

• According to 2016 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data, almost 25% of American adults are living with a disability.
• Adults with disabilities face significant health disparities compared to adults without disabilities, including a threefold greater risk for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer.
• Health professionals, researchers, and policy makers can find state and national level data on 30 different health topics and behaviors—including physical activity, smoking, obesity, flu vaccination, cancer screenings, and more—using CDC’s Disability and Health Data System.

Notas

Limitaciones del informe: En la actualidad, el BRFSS no evalúa la sordera o dificultad para oír grave. Por lo tanto, no se recolectaron datos sobre la cantidad de personas con dificultad para oír a nivel estatal. Como consecuencia es probable que se haya subestimado la cantidad total de personas con discapacidades en las Estados Unidos incluidas en este informe.
