Description
Ying Liu and co-authors used a national health survey in 2026 to compare two common ills by disability status. Adults with limits in seeing, hearing, moving, or other daily functions may face more diabetes and high blood pressure. The survey ran from August 2021 to August 2023 in the United States. It held more than eight thousand adults with full function data, scored in six domains.
After age was leveled, adults with a disability had rates of diabetes about nine points higher than others. Their high blood pressure rates ran about eight points higher. Gaps in missed diagnoses were small or ran the other way. The authors warn that the gaps in care depend on the ill and the group counted, and the data do not say why disease rates differ.
