The analyzed included using buses trains. Poisson regression models robust variance used estimate prevalence ratios (PR) control confounding variables. 20,663 participants included, their mean 66.5 57.5% females. Architectural 40% 61%, respectively. All more prevalent rural compared urban areas (p < 0.001). Inadequacy elevators bathrooms associated limited use centers 0.001) but not health > 0.05). represent hindrance seeking treatment at centers. Actions improve this situation are needed.
