People with disabilities are suffering from weak health conditions. However, it is very difficult to find a study on how to understand the health status of the disabled, identify the health gap with the non-disabled, and improve their health. In addition, the spread of COVID-19 further worsened the health of the disabled. Therefore, in order to improve the health of the disabled, it is time for research to seek the current status, gaps, and improvement measures.

In order to understand the health status of the disabled, it is first necessary to understand the type and degree of disability. In addition, their main diseases and risk factors should be identified. In addition, the difference can be identified by comparing it with the non-disabled. And interventions that change risk factors could improve the health of the disabled. Education for professionals concerning the disabled can also improve the health status of the disabled.

In this Research Topic, we invite review papers and original articles on the health status and gaps of disabled people. Topics may include, but are not limited to:

- major Diseases of Persons with Disabilities
- studies on interventions to promote the health status of people with disabilities
- studies on interventions to advance the knowledge and action of health educators concerning people with disabilities
- health gap depending on the country, socioeconomic status and type of disability within the disabled group
- studies on interventions to promote the health status of people with disabilities
- studies on interventions to advance the knowledge and action of health educators concerning people with disabilities
