September 2006
 Disability & Health State Chartbook, 2006
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) presents data
about the health of people with disabilities. The CDC found
that people with disabilities report poorer health than people
without a disability. The CDC also found that people with
disabilities often smoke more, are more often obese, and get less
physical exercise than people without disabilities. Information is
provided for each state in graphs and data tables.
The data were collected from the 2001 and 2003 Behavioral Risk
Factor Surveillance System, a state-based system that
obtains health information through telephone health surveys with
technical assistance provided by CDC.
