More advanced radiographic stage was associated with lower income, and forced vital capacity impairment with less education. Physical and social activity limitations due to physical and emotional disability were related to no or public insurance and lower income, but not education. Sarcoidosis severity is associated with socioeconomic status and insurance indicators; no or public insurance and low income are associated with functional limitations. Sarcoidosis-associated limitations are substantial, emphasizing the social significance of sarcoidosis. Lack of private insurance may inhibit the use of medical care, contributing to disease severity and impairment.
