Description
Niazi and Sher argue in twenty twenty-four that health research leaves out people with a disability far too often. One in four adults in the United States has some type of disability. As a group, they face higher rates of weight gain, heart disease, and diabetes, and worse results with cancer.
The authors trace much of this gap to a lack of good data. Trials that won drug approval rarely report who had a disability, so care guides have little to draw on. They call on the National Institutes of Health to require that detail in funded work. With it, guides could fit real patients, and care could improve for a large group now poorly served.
