In addition, the amount and prevalane of disability in terms of characteristics of head of household, economic and WELFARE status of household was statistically significant. Logistic regression analysis showed that female-headed households, education and low occupational status of head of household, WELFARE index of household and rural-urban residence significantly increased the possibility of having a disabled person in the household.Conclusion: Low levels of WELFARE and poor living conditions of households increases the probability of disability.
