Abstract

Abstract

Objective To study the prevalence and the historical development trend of mental disability in mega cities in China. Methods Using the Second National Disability Sample Survey in 2006, this study analyzed the demographic characteristics and the prevalence of mental disability in inner city areas and outer suburban areas of Chinese mega cities. Based on the demographic analysis technique and epidemiological analysis, this study investigated the historical development trend of the prevalence of mental disability in mega cities. Results The prevalence rate of mental disability in mega city areas was 0.66%, which was higher than the national average (0.63%). The prevalence of mental disability among suburban residents (0.63%) was lower than that of inner city areas residents (0.71%). Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the prevalence of mental disability in mega cities has been on the rise. Before the reform and opening up, there was a relatively stable upward trend of the prevalence, while after that, this upward speed increased sharply. Conclusions The prevalence of mental disability in mega cities is higher than the national average. In mega cities, the prevalence of mental disability in inner city areas are larger than those in the suburbs. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the trend of the prevalence of mental disability in mega cities presented "stable upward" to "rapid rise".
