This study showed that experiencing traumatic events was significantly associated with disability: for instance, the odds of being disabled ("Severe disability") for men and women who had experienced high number of recent traumatic events were about 7 times that of participants with fewer traumatic exposures.
Women living in a polygamous marriage had increased odds of being disabled (with "Moderate-to-severe disability") after controlling for other variables, including exposure to traumatic events.
A statistically significant association was also found between SES and disability, where the likelihood of being disabled decreased as household wealth status increased (table 3).
In the model predicting disability, consistency in psychological well-being and education significantly increased the odds of being disabled, while consistency in physical self-care significantly decreased the odds.
DISCUSSION: The implications of the results include that disability measurement, including altering the definition of being disabled and possibly expanding the state space of a model, may not affect population-based estimates of ALE.
To check this, we examined the table of the odds ratios of being disabled for the year j (Y ij ) according to disability the previous years (Y i (j - t )).
Results from this analysis are presented in table 3. Sex had a statistically significant association with disability, with men having 25% fewer odds of being disabled as compared to women (OR 0.75; 95% CI 0.71 to 0.79; p<0.791).
This paper examines determinants of being disabled in Russia, along with the probability of moving from one disability status to another, using data from 1994 through 2005 from the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey.
"If you can think instead of being disabled with emotion, then you win.
So whether that cancels out my thought of being disabled or not, I don't know.
By the time the baby is 25 or 26 weeks, it has only a one-third chance of being disabled.
