This chart shows one vertical bar for each of the age groups 55 to 64 years, and 65 years and over. In each of the age groups the bar is shown for those reporting excellent or good health, the total activity limitation population; the population with activity limitation; and population without activity limitation. The chart shows that those with disabilities report lower levels of health than those who do not have a disability. For example, of off reserve Aboriginal seniors who reported having a disability, 18% reported their health as 'excellent or very good.' By comparison, 40% of off-reserve Aboriginal seniors without disabilities reported 'excellent or very good' health.
