For prevalence and pattern of disability as well as the socio-economic effects of disability, a community based study was carried out in a rural area of Bangladesh. A trained physician conducted a house to house survey in a population of 1906. An overall prevalence of disability of 8.5 percent was found. Major forms of disability were hearing disability (23%), visual disability (21%) and movement disability (15%). Disability was found to have considerable effects on educational attainment, employment and marriage. Many of these disabilities could be prevented by simple measures such as immunization, vitamin A supplementation and improving referral systems for early treatment. A substantial proportion could also benefit from relatively simple rehabilitatory measures.
