Results: The result of paired-t-test from 2011 to 2013 showed that the change in the BMI of people without disabilities rose significantly (p<.0001) after two years whereas that of people with disabilities did not. male without disabilities had a significantly higher BMI than female without disabilities (p<.0001). However, BMI of female with disabilities was significantly higher than that of male with disabilities. A study on the factors affecting the change in the obesity conditions of people with disabilities showed that such a change had a significant relation with BMI of initial year(2011yr), age, income level, history of hypertension, history of diabetes, people with mental disorder. Also smoking status and anxiety-depression impacted on the change in the obesity conditions of the disabled female adults and smokers of people with disabilities had a significant relation with sex, duration of smoking, status of drinking.
