ABSTRACT
Data from the North Carolina Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey show that, from 2005-2010, cardiovascular disease (CVD) was approximately 3 times more prevalent among adults with disabilities than among those without disabilities. Likelihood of having multiple CVD risk factors was also increased. Early intervention to prevent CVD in people with disabilities is warranted.
