“…Even though all the study variables were strongly associated with partnership formation, receiving a disability pension was by far the strongest explanatory variable for reduced chances of partnership formation. Our finding that receiving a disability pension was associated with lower chances of partnership formation resonates with findings from previous studies that report higher rates of singlehood among persons with disabilities compared to people without disabilities (Clarke & McKay, 2014;Franklin, 1977;Janus, 2009;Liu & Zhang, 2013;MacInnes, 2011;Osgood et al, 2008;Queirós et al, 2015;Savage & McConnell, 2016;Singleton, 2012;Tumin, 2016). Starting to receive a disability pension was associated with a reduction in chances of a subsequent partnership regardless of age at the start on disability pension.…”

“…Existing research outside Sweden suggests that people with long-term disabilities are more likely to live with their parents, even during adulthood (Reynolds, Morton, Garralda, Postlethwaite, & Goh, 1993). Persons with disabilities are less likely to cohabit or marry compared to their counterparts without disabilities (Clarke & McKay, 2014;Franklin, 1977;Janus, 2009;Liu & Zhang, 2013;MacInnes, 2011;Osgood et al, 2008;Queirós et al, 2015;Savage & McConnell, 2016;Singleton, 2012;Tumin, 2016). Some studies also show that disabled people tend to marry much later in life compared to their peers without disabilities (Franklin, 1977;Osgood et al, 2008).…”

Evidence suggests that disability negatively affects people's propensity to find a partner. Persons with disabilities that eventually find a partner do so later in life compared to the average population. There is a lack of studies on the differences in partnership opportunities for persons with disabilities compared to those without disabilities in Sweden. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of disability on partnership formation and to assess whether partnership formation varies as a function of individual demographic and socioeconomic factors. We use nationwide data available in the Swedish Initiative for Research on Microdata in Social and Medical Sciences (Umeå SIMSAM Lab). We follow persons born from 1973 to 1977 when they were from 16 to 37 years of age and analyze their data using logistic regression. Our findings indicate that regardless of whether a person started to receive a disability pension at an early age or later, it was associated with lower odds for partnership formation. For persons who started receiving disability pension from 16 to 20 years of age, chances for partnership formation reduced with increase in age of partnership. Individuals that started to receive disability pension later were more likely to form partnership prior to receiving disability pension. Partnership formation was less likely among persons born outside Sweden, in persons with mothers born outside Sweden, in individuals born by unmarried mothers and in persons, whose mothers had a high level of education. Partnership was high among women and among persons who had many maternal siblings. In conclusion, receiving disability pension was associated with reduced chances for partnership formation. Receiving disability pension might imply financial constraints that negatively influence partnership formation supporting Oppenheimer's theory on the economic cost of marriage and the uncertainty hypothesis.

“…Therefore, our suspicion is based on the premise that to be enrolled in private insurance, one must purchase their own insurance, be covered through employment, or be married to someone who has private insurance. Both employment and marriage rates are lower among adults with pediatric‐onset disabilities compared with the general population, which is likely more pronounced among individuals with more‐severe forms or more medically complex disabilities. Evidence to support the likelihood that our sample reflects a higher functioning segment of the CP population is that the osteoporosis prevalence estimate found in this study (5.5%) is about half that of what we have previously reported from adults with CP from the southeastern Michigan region .…”

Individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) have an increased risk of fracture throughout their lifespan based on an underdeveloped musculoskeletal system, excess body fat, diminished mechanical loading, and early development of noncommunicable diseases. However, the epidemiology of fracture among adults with CP is unknown. The purpose of this cross‐sectional study was to determine the prevalence of fracture among a large sample of privately insured adults with CP, as compared with adults without CP. Data were from the Optum Clinformatics Data Mart (Eden Prairie, MN, USA), a deidentified nationwide claims database of beneficiaries from a single private payer. Diagnostic codes were used to identify 18‐ to 64‐year‐old beneficiaries with and without CP and any fracture that consisted of osteoporotic pathological fracture as well as any type of fracture of the head/neck, thoracic, lumbar/pelvic, upper extremity, and lower extremity regions. The prevalence of any fracture was compared between adults with (n = 5,555) and without (n = 5.5 million) CP. Multivariable logistic regression was performed with all‐cause fracture as the outcome and CP group as the primary exposure. Adults with CP had a higher prevalence of all‐cause fracture (6.3% and 2.7%, respectively) and fracture of the head/neck, thoracic, lumbar/pelvic, upper extremity, and lower extremity regions compared with adults without CP (all p < 0.01). After adjusting for sociodemographic and socioeconomic variables, adults with CP had higher odds of all‐cause fracture compared with adults without CP (OR 2.5; 95% CI, 2.2 to 2.7). After further adjusting for cardiometabolic diseases, adults with CP had higher odds of all‐cause fracture compared with adults without CP (OR 2.2; 95% CI, 2.0 to 2.5). After further adjusting for osteoporosis, adults with CP still had higher odds of all‐cause fracture compared with adults without CP (OR 2.0; 95% CI, 1.8 to 2.2). These findings suggest that young and middle‐aged adults with CP have an elevated prevalence of all‐cause fracture compared with adults without CP, which was present even after accounting for cardiometabolic diseases and osteoporosis. © 2019 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

“…Our inability to disentangle the timing of disability onset from the timing of family formation limits our ability to address potential selection issues. Individuals with childhood‐onset disabilities are less likely than those without disabilities to live independently and to marry (Janus, ; Tumin, ). Disability negatively correlates with the presence of dependent children in the household (Clarke & McKay, ), and parents with disabilities are more likely than those without disabilities to have children removed from the household by child protective services (National Council on Disability, ).…”

Benefactors and Beneficiaries? Disability and Care to Others

Individuals with disabilities often have limitations that require care from others to increase functioning and facilitate activities of daily living. Despite these care‐receiving needs, evidence suggests people with disabilities are also care givers. This study uses the 2008–2015 American Time Use Survey to examine the association between the presence of sensory, mental or cognitive, physical, or multiple limitations and the likelihood and intensity of time spent in primary child care, secondary child care, adult care, care of nonhouseholders, and support care (housework). Net of socioeconomic characteristics, the authors do not observe consistent differences in predicted child care time by disability status, although men with disabilities spend less time in care to adults and nonhouseholders. The largest difference in predicted care time by disability status occurs in support care. Overall, the results challenge the traditional focus on people with disabilities as only beneficiaries of care to document their role as benefactors.
