Results showed that adults with physical limitations were more likely to receive a blood pressure check (92% vs. 70%%) or flu shot (40%% vs. 23%) compared to adults with no limitations. However, people with physical limitations were less likely to have a dental check-up (45% vs. 59%) in comparison to those with no limitation. People who had a regular care provider were more likely to receive services.
