Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of the structure of the prevalence of disability and medical conditions in a representative sample of over 5000 people in the Great Britain 16- adult population. Using data from 1996/97 Great Britain Disability Follow-Up Survey, exploratory data analysis revealed the general increase in loss of ability in the older population. Summary characteristics are presented for five age groups and design implications are drawn for the practice of inclusive design.
