Background: Representative national data on disability are becoming increasingly important in helping policymakers decide on public health strategies. We assessed the respective contribution of chronic health conditions to disability for three age groups (18–40, 40–65, and .65 years old) using data from the 2008–2009 Disability-Health Survey in France.
