New Support Launched for Disabled Adults to Improve Health
There are potentially around 3.5 million disabled adults at greater risk of poor health due to inactivity, and evidence shows they are twice as likely to be inactive to non-disabled people.
To address this, disabled people will be supported by new resources to help them get more active to improve their health.
There are 11.5 million disabled people in England and nearly half (42%) of them are inactive on a weekly basis compared to 21% of those with no disability, a two-fold difference.
However, 4 in 5 disabled people report they would like to do more physical activity, highlighting continued barriers that prevent them from being active.
