Abstract

Higher-resourced countries do not score higher in all ICF categories. Countries’ economic resources and their distribution are significant predictors of disability in vulnerable groups such as tetraplegics and the elderly. Functioning is multi-dimensional and structures of association suggest that country-specific pathways towards disability exist. Copyright Swiss School of Public Health 2011
