years the predominance of the disabilities of the limbs (lower and / or upper) is much more
significant, the remaining types of disabilities are substantially in the same proportions.
Finally in mature ages, that is to say 45 and over, there is a substantial increase in blindness
or reduction in visual acuity (with 34.1% at 65 years), and significant proportions of brain
paralysis and hearing loss.
If a significant number of limbs disabilities (lower or upper) for the very young can be
attributed to the failure of the vaccination system, for the most active age (20-44 years) traffic
or work accidents, risk behaviours (smoking, alcoholism, etc.) certainly help explain the
predominance of limbs disability at these ages. Finally, the increase of the blind or visually
impaired, cerebral palsy and hearing loss in older ages would certainly due to the onset of
certain age-related diseases.
