Adult Disability Prevalence and Determinants in Somalia, 2022 Survey

A cross-sectional study of 19,832 adults aged 18+ from the 2022 Somali Integrated Household Budget Survey. The analysis found an overall disability prevalence of 11.95% and identified significant associations with factors like age, sex, education, and smoking status. The dataset was authored by Jama Barre Hared and published on figshare in 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling disability risk factors based on demographic and socioeconomic variables mentioned in the description
• Analyzing regional disparities in disability prevalence across Somalia
• Evaluating the protective effect of education against disability as indicated by the reported odds ratios
• Comparing disability prevalence between urban and rural residents and between genders

Strengths

• Analysis is based on a substantial sample of 19,832 adults from a national household survey
• Findings include specific prevalence rates (e.g., 11.95% overall, 13.29% for women) and adjusted odds ratios with confidence intervals for key determinants
• The study employs a multivariable logit model to evaluate factors, providing a statistical basis for the associations

Limitations

• The underlying data file is a PDF (83.0 KB), suggesting it contains a summary report rather than the raw survey microdata, limiting direct analysis
• Column-level documentation and sample data are unavailable, making field semantics and structure uncertain
• Row count for the original survey dataset is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for some modeling tasks
