  • Some persons with disabilities die up to 20 years earlier than those without disabilities.
  • Persons with disabilities have twice the risk of developing conditions such as depression, asthma, diabetes, stroke, obesity or poor oral health.
  • Persons with disabilities face many health inequities.
  • Persons with disabilities find inaccessible and unaffordable transportation 15 times more difficult than for those without disabilities.
  • Health inequities arise from unfair conditions faced by persons with disabilities, including stigma, discrimination, poverty, exclusion from education and employment, and barriers faced in the health system itself.
