## How disability was defined

Adults were counted as having a **disability** if they reported **"a lot of difficulty"** or **"cannot do at all"** in at least one of six areas:

- seeing, even with glasses;
- hearing, even with hearing aids;
- walking or climbing stairs;
- communicating (understanding or being understood);
- remembering or concentrating;
- self-care, such as washing or dressing.

The survey is based on household interviews with a sample of the U.S. civilian, noninstitutionalized population. Percentages were age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard population.
