Abstract

What is already known about this topic? Rehabilitation is an essential part of achieving health for all, whereas the estimates of rehabilitation needs, especially for elderly individuals in China, are not clear. What is added by this report? Compared with 1990, the prevalence and years of life lived with disability for health conditions in need of rehabilitation in China increased by 71.3% and 77.0% in 2019, respectively, at a rate much higher than the global average. What are the implications for public health practices? This study mainly presents scientific data and a systematic analysis of the current state and challenges of rehabilitation needs for elderly individuals (aged 60 and above) in China based on the World Health Organization Rehabilitation Need Estimator.
