The Health and Activity Limitation Survey was the first post-censal survey to be conducted immediately following the 1986 Census of Population. A comprehensive survey of persons with disabilities, the sample included 184,500 persons residing in households and 19,100 individuals in health related institutions. Data gathered included the nature and severity of the individual's disability and the barriers disabled persons might encounter in their daily activities. The survey showed that an estimated 3.3 million Canadians, or 13% of the population, experienced some level of disability. The survey also showed a significant increase in disability with age. While 5% of children aged 0-14 had a disability, in the population aged 15-64, 11% were disabled. The prevalence increased to 46% for the population aged 65 and older. Disabilities related to mobility were reported by approximately 2 million persons or just under two thirds of the disabled population aged 15 and older. Of the 1.8 million adults aged 15-64 with a disability, approximately 56% reported an income of under $10,000 and 1985, while 12.5% $30,000 or more.
《健康与活动受限调查》是在1986年人口普查之后立即进行的首次普查后调查。这是一项针对残疾人的全面调查，样本包括184,500名居住在家庭中的人员和19,100名在健康相关机构中的人员。收集的数据包括个人残疾的性质和严重程度以及残疾人在日常活动中可能遇到的障碍。调查显示，估计有330万加拿大人，即13%的人口，经历了某种程度的残疾。调查还显示，残疾率随年龄显著增加。0至14岁的儿童中有5%有残疾，在15至64岁的人口中，11%有残疾。65岁及以上人口的患病率上升到46%。据报告，约200万人，即15岁及以上残疾人口的近三分之二，存在与行动不便相关的残疾。在15至6岁有残疾的成年人中，约56%报告在1985年的收入低于10,000加元，而12.5%的人收入为30,000加元或更多。
