Notes:
- The figures in parentheses are the numbers of persons out of a population of 1,000 (based on the Population Census in 2000).
- 2. The number of persons with mental disabilities excludes patients with mental retardation from persons with Mental and Behavioral Disorders in ICD-10 Chapter V, and includes patients with epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease. Outpatients of “Patient Survey” are regarded as “persons living at home”, and hospitalized patients as “persons living in institutions”.
(ICD-10 is the International Statistical Classification of Disease and Related Health Problems Tenth Revision published by World Health Organization (WHO))
