Stroke is one of the major health issues in the United States. I explored different aspects of disability based on a history of stroke, race, comorbidities, age, and body mass index for the population of community dwelling stroke survivors. Using a dataset drawn from the first wave of the longitudinal study of the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (Waite et al., 2019), analysis was performed. The dataset consists of a nationally representative sample of 3,005 community dwelling people between the ages of 57 to 86 years old at the time of recruitment. The results demonstrated that the history of stroke, presence of comorbidities such as arthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, and heart failure, age, and body mass index significantly influenced the amount of disability an elderly person had. Performing screening and addressing the issues are essential to lower the amount of disability in the elderly population.
