Among the population, 790,000 are working-age and and 500,000 are above 65 years old. The incidence of disability increases with age—9% of the children are disabled, compared to 51% of those aged 65 and more.

Povećava se incidencija sa starošću. Tako ima 9% kod djece a 51% kod osoba starijih od 65 godina.Prema tipu invaliditeta 42% imaju poteškoće sa hodanjem, 13% sa memorijom i koncentracijom, 8% sa vidom, a 8% sa sluhom....
