Reading this plate
National prevalence is 1.37%, or 2,264,660 people. The three lowest districts, Dhaka, Narayanganj and Gazipur, are exactly the three with the highest sex ratios, which points to in-migration of working-age men rather than to less disability. Read this as reported prevalence, not true prevalence.
