dc.description.abstractAim To determine the prevalence, types, time of disability, and the factors leading to disability in all age groups in the population. Subject and methods A cross-sectional design was used to study a group of 1069 people in the center of Hazro province in Turkey's Southeastern Anatolia Region. Data were collected by visiting 199 households and by face-to-face questionnaire. A survey form for households and a Disabled Person Evaluation Form were used. Results Of the participants, 55.7% were male, 27.1% primary school graduates, and 39.5% were married. The frequency of consanguineous marriages in the region was 44.6%. The prevalence of disability was determined as 13.8%. The most common types of disability are; chronic visceral disorders (56.0%), skeletal system disorders (29.8%), hearing disorders (13.5%). It was determined that 21.6% of the disabled were born with disabilities, and for 78.4% it occurred after birth. The prevalence of congenital disabilities in those with consanguineous marriage of parents (p = 0.000) and those with disabilities in family history (p < 0.05) was higher than that of the non-disabled. Conclusion Disability prevalence was higher than the average in Turkey. It has been determined that chronic diseases are common in the society; most of the disabilities occur after birth and genetic disorders, and consanguineous marriages are an important problem.en_US
