- Abstract
This article reports on the incidence of arthritis and arthritis limited activity in America between 2003 and 2005. The study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention based on the National Health Interview Survey showed that nearly a quarter of the adult U.S. population had doctor-diagnosed arthritis and nearly 10% had arthritis-attributable activity limitations. Prevalence estimates are analyzed by age group, sex, ethnicity, body mass index, education level and level of physical activity. Prevalence was higher for obese and overweight adults and other factors.
