在美国，报告有残疾的人数从1991-1992年的4 900万人增加到1994-1995年的5 400万人。1996年，残疾人的直接医疗费用为2 600亿加元。对残疾流行率和相关健康状况的监测有助于制定政策，预测卫生系统的服务需求，协助国家计划，指导健康促进和疾病预防工作，以及监测国家卫生目标。美国人口普查局和疾病预防控制中心分析了收入和计划参与调查（SIPP）的数据，以确定全国残疾成年人和相关健康状况的患病率估计。本报告总结了这一分析的结果，这些结果表明，残疾仍然是一个重要的公共卫生问题，即使在工作的成年人中也是如此，关节炎或风湿病、背部或脊柱问题以及心脏病/动脉硬化仍然是主要原因。更好地促进健康和预防疾病可减少与残疾有关的健康状况的流行。
In the United States, the number of persons reporting disabling conditions increased from 49 million during 1991-1992 to 54 million during 1994-1995. During 1996, direct medical costs for persons with disability were $260 billion. Surveillance of disability prevalence and associated health conditions is useful in setting policy, anticipating the service needs of health systems, assisting state programs, directing health promotion and disease prevention efforts, and monitoring national health objectives. The U.S. Bureau of the Census and CDC analyzed data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) to determine national prevalence estimates of adults with disabilities and associated health conditions. This report summarizes findings of that analysis, which indicate that disability continues to be an important public health problem, even among working adults, and arthritis or rheumatism, back or spine problems, and heart trouble/hardening of the arteries remain the leading causes. Better health promotion and disease prevention may reduce the prevalence of disability-associated health conditions.
