- Abstract
'Handicap' is the disadvantage for an individual that results from ill-health. It represents an important outcome in chronic disabling disease, but has proved difficult to measure until recently. The strength of association between handicap and other health status measures, and the relative contributions of health and socioeconomic variables to handicap have not been studied previously.
