The study included 996 respondents who answered “yes” to the presence of disability, reported diseases from the specified list, and evaluated their health status and life satisfaction. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 26.0 (IBM Company).</p> <p><bold>RESULTS:</bold><bold> </bold>Disability group I was reported in 8.3%, group II in 49.6%, and group III in 42.1%. The mean age of respondents was 65.4 ± 16.1 years; the proportion of persons aged ≥ 65 years was 62.7% in group I, 64.0% in group II, and 54.9% in group III (<italic>p</italic> = 0.02). The proportion of those rating their health as “poor” or “very poor” was 73.5% in group I, 50.8% in group II, and 42.7% in group III. The mean number of diseases was 4.4 ± 2.6 (without statistically significant differences between disability groups). The proportion of respondents who were “completely satisfied with life” or “rather satisfied” was almost 10-fold higher (39.6%) than those who rated their health as “very good” or “good” (3.4%; <italic>p</italic> = 0.007). When multivariable logistic regression was performed, being “completely satisfied with life” or “rather satisfied” was associated with age ≥ 65 years (<italic>p</italic> = 0.004; OR 1.55; 95% CI 1.15–2.07), self-rated health as “very good” or “good” (<italic>p</italic> = 0.02; OR 2.42; 95% CI 1.15–5.09), and financial well-being, i.e., absence of perceived poverty (<italic>p</italic> &lt; 0.001; OR 1.97; 95% CI 1.49–2.59), whereas no associations were found with sex, number of diseases, or disability group severity (groups I and II compared with group III).</p> <p><bold>CONCLUSION: </bold>Not all persons with disability rate their health as “poor” or “very poor”, even in the presence of multimorbidity and disability group I. The proportion of respondents with disability who are satisfied with life exceeds the proportion of those not satisfied. Financial well-being is one of the key determinants of life satisfaction in persons with disability. These findings indicate the need to coordinate the capacities of state medical and social services and to improve living standards and material well-being.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Обоснование.</bold> Группа инвалидности в России отражает медицинское заключение о тяжести заболеваний и уровне функциональных нарушений, в то время как самооценка здоровья отражает личное восприятие физического состояния, своих функциональных возможностей и ограничений.</p> <p><bold>Цель.</bold> На основании опроса репрезентативной выборки населения оценить взаимосвязь между инвалидностью и такими компонентами восприятия жизни, как удовлетворённость и самооценка здоровья; а также наличием заболеваний.</p> <p><bold>Методы. </bold>Рассмотрены данные лонгитюдного обследования домохозяйств «Российский мониторинг экономического положения и здоровья населения НИУ ВШЭ (RLMS-HSE)» за 2023 г. В исследование включены данные 996 респондентов, ответивших «да» на вопрос о наличии инвалидности, заболеваний из указанного перечня, оценивших состояние здоровья и удовлетворённость жизнью. Статистический анализ выполнен с помощью SPSS 26.0 (IBM Company).</p> <p><bold>Результаты. </bold>Доля инвалидов первой группы составила 8,3%, второй — 49,6%, третьей — 42,1%. Средний возраст пациентов — 65,4 ± 16,1 года; доля лиц старше 65 лет среди лиц с первой группой инвалидности составила 62,7%, со второй — 64,0%, с третьей — 54,9% (<italic>р</italic> = 0,02). Доля оценивших свое здоровье как «плохое» и «очень плохое» среди лиц с первой группой инвалидности составила 73,5%, со второй — 50,8%, с третьей — 42,7%. Среднее число заболеваний — 4,4 ± 2,6 (без статистически значимых различий по группам инвалидности). Доля тех, кто «полностью удовлетворён жизнью» или «скорее удовлетворён», почти в 10 раз больше (39,6%), чем доля тех, кто считает свое здоровье «очень хорошим» и «хорошим» (3,4%; <italic>р</italic> = 0,007). При проведении многофакторного регрессионного анализа выявлено, что с таким фактором, как «полностью удовлетворён жизнью» или «скорее удовлетворён», связаны возраст 65 лет и старше (<italic>р</italic> = 0,004; отношение шансов (ОШ) 1,55; 95% доверительный интервал (ДИ) 1,15–2,07), самооценка здоровья как «очень хорошее» и «хорошее» (<italic>р</italic> = 0,02; ОШ 2,42; 95% ДИ 1,15–5,09) и финансовое благополучие, то есть отсутствие ощущения нищеты (<italic>р</italic> &lt; 0,001; ОШ 1,97; 95% ДИ 1,49–2,59), но не выявлено взаимосвязи с полом, числом заболеваний и тяжестью группы инвалидности (первая и вторая группы по сравнению с третьей группой).</p> <p><bold>Заключение. </bold>Не все респонденты с инвалидностью считают своё здоровье «плохим» и «очень плохим» даже при наличии мультиморбидной патологии и первой группы инвалидности. Доля людей с наличием инвалидности и удовлетворённых жизнью превышает долю лиц с инвалидностью, не удовлетворённых жизнью. Одним из важных факторов, влияющих на удовлетворённость жизнью при наличии инвалидности, является финансовое благополучие. Полученные результаты свидетельствуют о необходимости координации возможностей государственных медицинских и социальных ресурсов, повышения уровня жизни и материального благосостояния.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>disability</kwd><kwd>self-rated health</kwd><kwd>surveys</kwd><kwd>life satisfaction</kwd><kwd>multimorbidity</kwd><kwd>disability paradox</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>инвалидность</kwd><kwd>самооценка здоровья</kwd><kwd>опросы</kwd><kwd>удовлетворённость жизнью</kwd><kwd>мультиморбидность</kwd><kwd>парадокс инвалидности</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Leonardi M, Lee H, Kostanjsek N, et al. 20 Years of ICF-International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health: Uses and Applications around the World.
