The objective was to analyze the association between sociodemographic and clinical characteristics with the development of physical physical disabilities of grades 1 and 2 in people diagnosed with leprosy in Paraíba, Brazil. It’s an ecological study, population-based, which had the 223 municipalities at the Center of Chronic and Neglected Diseases/Leprosy belonging to the Health Surveillance Executive Management of Health Department of Paraíba State in June 2021, after extraction from the Notifiable Diseases Information System. The database gathered 2,468 new cases of leprosy registered in the period from 2016 to 2020. The probability of a person diagnosed with leprosy developing physical disability 1 or 2 is greater in males, aged 15 or over, formal education less than or equal to nine years, operational classification multibacillary, with more than five lesions and more than one affected nerve, in addition to positive bacilloscopy. Health education policies are strongly recommended in order to improve the knowledge of professionals and the community. Approaches about leprosy, early diagnosis, active search, surveillance and follow-up of cases and their contacts, in addition to physical disabilities, especially for people who are more vulnerable to develop them, are fundamental.
