Health Promotion and the Prevention of Secondary Conditions in People with DisabilitiesABSTRACTThe health promoting behaviors of people with disabilities are strongly influenced by psychological, social, and environmental factors on top of any physical limitations associated with disability. Many health problems affect us more seriously than the general population, such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and depression. This presentation will offer findings from research on the health of people with disabilities and how we can improve and maintain our physical, psychological, social, and spiritual health.
