It follows that, where there is a lack of
accessibility, for example, with physical barriers, that people can suffer some degree of marginalization and, logically, a loss of quality of life with respect to others who do not suffer this lack, being worst for disabled persons (European Union, 1996 AU47: The in-text citation "European Union, 1996" is not in the reference list.
