dc.description.resumoAfghanistan’s health care system has been undergoing reconstruction since 2001. Since then, coverage of basic health services increased, while maternal and child mortality rates decreased significantly. Therefore, life expectancy ranged from 42 years in 2004 to around 60 years in 2013. Currently, disability is a concern in Afghanistan. The main causes of disability in the country are either war related or associated with cerebral palsy and polio. After overcoming these issues, national authorities will face other challenges. As life expectancy increases, more individuals will be experiencing chronic illnesses that are risk factors for disability. The aim of this paper is to assess the prevalence of disability in Afghanistan using the Socio-Demographic and Economic Survey (SDES) for 2012. The analysis is performed for six provinces: Bamiyan, Daykundi, Ghor, Kabul, Kapisa and Parwan. Descriptive analysis and logistic models were estimated in order to characterize the disability profile in Afghanistan. The results revealed that the prevalence of disability ranges from 0.6% to 2.4% (entire population) and from 11% to 33% (people aged over 69). Individuals in the lowest wealth quintiles, older age groups and being single are more prone to have reported functional limitation.pt_BR
