Arthritis Facts and Statistics Arthritis and other rheumatic conditions are chronic and disabling, and affect an estimated 40 million Americans. Nearly 50% of persons 65 years of age have arthritis; younger people have a lower risk of having arthritis but still comprise half of all people affected. The self-reported prevalence of arthritis is greater among women than among men, and for women aged greater than 45 years, arthritis is the leading cause of activity limitation. Arthritis limits the activity of over 7 million people and is second only to heart disease as a cause of work disability. Recent estimates place the direct medical cost of arthritis at $15.2 billion per year, with total costs of medical care and lost wages exceeding $64 billion. The impact of arthritis is expected to increase dramatically as the “baby boomers” age. By 2020, an estimated 60 million Americans, or almost 20% of the population, will be affected by arthritis, and more than 11 million will be disabled. |
Arthritis DiseasesArthritis comprises a variety of diseases and related conditions that affect the movable (synovial) joints of the body: knees, wrists, elbows, fingers, toes, hips, and shoulders. Affected joints no longer glide smoothly past one another. The result -- a bone-to-bone joint and excruciating pain! The joint structure includes two or more adjoining movable joints with adjacent surfaces that are covered with a layer of blue-white cartilage. This joint area is surrounded by a fluid-filled capsule and lubricated with a viscous fluid secreted by a thin membrane called the synovial membrane. If anything goes wrong with the synovial membrane, the synovial fluid, or the cartilage that covers the bones, arthritis can result. Arthritis can appear suddenly or come on gradually. Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are the two most common forms of arthritis. However, the other health challenges listed below also deal with joint inflammation:

Arthritis is not just an "old person's disease" nearly three of every five people with arthritis are younger than 65 years. |
Prevailing myths have portrayed arthritis as an old person’s disease, an inevitable part of aging that must be endured. However, effective interventions are available to prevent much of the burden of arthritis and its complications. Some forms of arthritis, such as osteoarthritis, can be prevented with weight control and precautions to avoid certain occupational and sports injuries. Similarly, the pain and disability accompanying all types of arthritis can be minimized through early diagnosis and appropriate management, including diet and nutrient supplements, weight control, physical activity, self-management, physical and occupational therapy, and joint replacement therapy when indicated. |
Arthritis Nutritional Support Strategies
Effective help is available now for people who want to proactively manage their disease and enjoy life to the fullest. The traditional approach is medications and physical therapy, but now a massive amount of nutrient research validates the effect diet and supplements can have for the body to heal. Lifestyle changes can also make a big difference. Our Arthritis Self-management Program will give you this nutrient association information as well as other helpful lifestyles changes for managing the disease. We also include the Center for Disease Control Framework for Arthritis Prevention and Control to help you understand on a large scale what the government is doing.
