Abstract
- The number of physically disabled in Korea and their biodemographic characteristics are estimated through a national sample survey of about 100,000 population or 22,134 households. The results showed that 7.98 persons per 1,000 population were found to be physically disabled including inconvenience to body or limb, as well as being mute, deaf or blind. Males had a higher prevalence ratio of disability compared to females, particularly in rural areas, among the less educated, divorced or widowed males.
