Sociodemographic factors of the pair caregiver-child/adolescent with disability are important issues, but they are still little explored in national studies. The aim of this study was to analyze the association of sociodemographic factors and disability between pairs of caregiver - child/adolescent with and without disability. A case-control study design was used. The study included 112 caregiver-child pairs, of which 56 were children with disabilities (cases) and 56 children without disabilities (controls). For data collection, the following instruments were used: Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) and Sociodemographic Questionnaire. Most of the pairs caregiver-child with disability presented more unfavorable sociodemographic conditions when compared to the pair caregiver-child with no disability. The final logistic regression model indicated that caregivers of children with disabilities perceive their health more negatively, and children with disabilities present more food restrictions, make more use of controlled medications and rely more heavily on Government benefits. The associated variables are fundamental to understand the issue of disability more clearly and the influence of the caregiver in this context.
