Note: N is the total number of respondents used to calculate prevalence, and incidence is calculated among people without an existing disability. Disability incidence is the rate of people without a disability at the previous interview (2 years ago) of developing a disability. All estimates are produced using sampling weights and displayed in percent. Range is difference between highest and lowest in the column. Gender difference is calculated as men’s estimate minus women’s estimate.
