Abstract: Objective To analyze the basic characteristics and regional distribution difference of people with disability caused by cerebrovascular diseases. Methods The Second National Sample Survey on Disability in China was used to select people with disabilities caused by cerebrovascular disease. Prevalence and basic characteristics were described, and regional distribution analysis by type and level of disability was conducted as well. Results Prevalence of people with disability caused by cerebrovascular diseases was 4.98‰ (12 583/2 526 145)and the prevalence was higher in Northern and Eastern part and lower in Southern and Western part. Basic characteristics of people with different type of disability were similar. Among people with disability caused by cerebrovascular diseases, Jing-Jin-Ji area (22.14%) and North-East area (21.44%)had the highest proportion for people with speech disabilities, and proportion in South-West area was low (10.56%). The proportion of severe disability in people with speech disability mainly aggregated at South-West area (71.04%) and it was lower in northern provinces. The proportion of severe disability in people with physical disability was higher in,Xinjiang (53.25%) and South-West area (53.78%) and lower in Qinghai-Tibet area (33.33%) and Jing-Ji area (34.58%). Conclusion The difference of basic characteristics and their regional distribution has revealed that different provinces should set different prevention and control targets. Different policy measures should be taken to allocate medical resources and provide rehabilitation service. South-West area (Chuan-Yu and Yun-Gui) should be specially focused and supported.
