Introduction. The World Report on Disability published by the World Health Organization in 2011 reported that over 1 billion people live with some kind of disability. The outlook shows that the proportion of disabilities is growing. Disabilities are significantly related to situations involving vulnerability, poverty, low socioeconomic income, less schooling, greater unemployment and housing access difficulties. Objective. To find the correlation between the sociodemographic variables and disabilities in adults from the municipality of Sabanalarga, Colombia. Methodology. Analytical study; a non-probabilistic sample was taken of 125 voluntary subjects with disabilities in the municipality of Sabanalarga whose age was equal to or greater than 20 years of age and with over six months of development of the permanent limitation. The World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule, version 2, validated by the World Health Organization, was used. Results. Of the evaluated areas (on a scale of 0 to 100 points), the greatest average score was mobility, at 32.1 ± 26.3537, and the area with the lowest average score was self-care, at 14.3 ± 20.1740 points. The sociodemographic variables of age and age range presented a significant association with cognition, mobility and the global disability score, with a P value of 0.000 and a confidence interval of 95 %. Conclusions. Based on the results, it is possible to state that the greater the age, the greater the disabilities in the participating population.
