About You
Disabled persons come in all shapes, sizes, and colors.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2025 1 in 4 (28.7%) of adults in the United States had some type of disability.
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines disability as "part of being human. An estimated 1.3 billion people – about 16% of the global population – currently experience significant disability. This number is increasing due in part to population ageing and an increase in the prevalence of noncommunicable diseases."
Black's Law Dictionary defines disability as 1) "The inability to perform some function; esp., the inability of one person to alter a given relation with another person; 2) An objectively measurable condition of impairment, physical or mental, esp. one that prevents a person from engaging in meaningful work."
Types of Disability:
Additional CDC statistics: 13.9% of disabled people have difficulty concentrating; 12.2% have difficulty walking or climbing stairs; 7.7% have trouble running errands alone; 6.2% are deaf or hard of hearing; 5.5% are blind or vision impaired; and 3.6% cannot dress or bathe themselves.
Why Disability Matters?
An estimated 26% of adults with disabilities are living below the poverty line in the United States. That matters because the disabled are:
· 33% more likely to be obese than non-disabled persons
· Over twice as likely to smoke.
· Three times as likely to have heart disease.
· Twice as likely to suffer with diabetes.
