Abstract:
Objective To understand the basic situation of persons with intellectual disability in Henan province, and to provide relevant support to promote the realization of a well-off society. Methods According to the results of national disabled basic service condition and de-mand special survey, we investigated and analyzed 53,620 people who registered with intellectual disabilities. Results Intellectual disability accounted for 8.60%of the disabled, the average age was about 36.6 years old, men accounted for 61.3%, and women accounted for 38.7%. The average per capita income, education level and employment rate of the persons in Henan province were generally low. Most people en-joyed the medical insurance (94.5%) and medical insurance subsidies (59.1%). The demand for development of the people was mainly re-flected in the special educational, practical technical training, medical rehabilitation, functional training and the non-barrier transformation for kitchen and toilets. Conclusion The rehabilitation medical services in Henan province remain to be improved. The demands of intellectu-al disabilities' multi-level development need more attention.
