1. They do not need as much care as do other women, because they are not able to get out into public.
2. They receive more preventive care than do women without disabilities.
3. These women seldom develop osteoporosis.
4. They receive less preventive care and have greater yearly health expenditures than do women without disabilities.

Rationale 2: Women with disabilities receive less preventive care than do women without disabilities.
Rationale 3: Women with disabilities develop osteoporosis more often than do women without disabilities, and need to be screened.
