A two-stage prevalence survey of disability (defined as the inability to perform unaided defined activities essential to daily life) used questionnaires on a random sample of the population living in north Lambeth. The central estimates of the prevalence of disability in those aged 35-74 are 7.2% for men and 9.7% for women. Among the disabled population locomotor impairments were more common in women; internal impairments were more common in men. For men and women together chronic respiratory disease, mainly bronchitis, was shown to be the single most common condition associated with disability.Though for women there may be an association between low social class and disability and between marital break-up and disability, these associations, though statistically significant, are weak. The data are therefore considered to be more widely relevant for the planning of health and welfare services.
一项针对残疾（定义为无法独立完成对日常生活至关重要的特定活动）的两阶段患病率调查，使用问卷对居住在兰贝斯北部的随机抽样人群进行了调查。35至74岁人群中残疾患病率的核心估计值为男性7.2%，女性9.7%。在残疾人群中，运动障碍在女性中更为常见；内部障碍在男性中更为常见。对于男性和女性而言，主要为支气管炎的慢性呼吸道疾病被证明是与残疾相关的最常见单一病症。尽管对于女性来说，低社会阶层与残疾之间以及婚姻破裂与残疾之间可能存在关联，但这些关联虽然在统计学上具有显著性，但较弱。因此，这些数据被认为与健康和福利服务规划具有更广泛的相关性。
