Preliminary epidemiological data are reported, and compared with analogous data from Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, Mexico, Indonesia, and Pakistan. Confidence levels for estimates of the prevalence of limb dysfunction, visual dysfunction, hearing and/or speech dysfunction, and mental retardation are also reported.
