Our latest analysis shows a continued higher #COVID19 mortality risk for disabled people in most groups from 24 January to 20 November 2020 http://ow.ly/f5OJ50Dxsh6 

We define “more-disabled” as those who reported their daily activities as limited a lot by a long lasting health problem or disability in Census 2011 and “less-disabled” as limited a little http://ow.ly/2jos50Dxsjs 

Between 24 January and 20 November 2020 in England, the risk of death involving #COVID19 was higher for disabled men than non-disabled men.

For disabled women, the risk of death was also higher than non-disabled women http://ow.ly/ICSp50Dxsmj 

Adjusting for personal and household characteristics, a smaller but statistically significantly raised risk of death remains unexplained for some groups

more-disabled women: 1.4 times
less-disabled women: 1.2 times
more-disabled men: 1.1 times

The risk of death involving #COVID19 for people with a medically diagnosed learning disability was 3.7 times greater for men and women compared with those without.

Adjusting for a range of factors, a raised risk of 1.7 times remained unexplained http://ow.ly/DWj150DxszZ 

All the socio-economic and geographical factors and pre-existing conditions considered made some difference to the risk for people with learning disabilities.

The largest effect was associated with living in a care home or other communal establishment http://ow.ly/3CP750DxsDV 

No single factor explains the raised #COVID19 mortality risk among disabled people.

However, disabled people are disproportionately exposed to a range of generally disadvantageous circumstances http://ow.ly/ki3F50DxsHP
