To identify the influential social factors and spatial distribution of physical disabilities in Iran between 2006 and 2011. First, the prevalence of physical disability in each province between 2006 and 2011 was mapped via GIS. Moreover, the percentage of physical disability was estimated with regard to age, sex, and residential area. Finally, the prevalence of physical disability was estimated with regard to the afore-mentioned variables. The findings revealed that in the majority of the provinces of Iran, there was a decreasing trend in the prevalence of physical disability from 2006 to 2011. The prevalence of physical disability in the total population of the country was also decreased during these years. The results were also indicative of a higher prevalence among men than among women and also in rural residential areas than in urban areas. The results of this research can be used to identify the high- and low-risk areas. In addition, this information can be used for the etiology and the specification of the factors that cause the residents of some regions to get afflicted more than the others.
确定2006年至2011年间伊朗身体残疾的影响社会因素和空间分布。首先，通过地理信息系统（GIS）绘制了2006年至2011年间每个省份身体残疾的患病率。此外，还根据年龄、性别和居住地区估计了身体残疾的百分比。最后，根据上述变量估计了身体残疾的患病率。研究结果显示，在伊朗的大多数省份，2006年至2011年间身体残疾的患病率呈下降趋势。这些年该国总人口中身体残疾的患病率也有所下降。结果还表明，男性的患病率高于女性，农村地区的患病率高于城市地区。本研究结果可用于识别高风险和低风险地区。此外，这些信息可用于病因研究以及确定导致某些地区居民比其他地区居民更容易患病的因素。
