Vital Signs: Prevalence of Doctor-Diagnosed Arthritis and Arthritis-Attributable Activity Limitation — United States, 2013–2015
Kamil E. Barbour, PhD; Charles G. Helmick, MD; Michael Boring, MS; et al.
Arthritis is a large and growing clinical and public health problem. Given the high prevalence of arthritis and arthritis-attributable activity limitations in the United States, health care providers and public health practitioners can address arthritis and other chronic conditions by prioritizing proven, nonpharmaceutical interventions, such as self-management education and appropriate physical activity, as effective ways to improve health outcomes, especially for groups with the highest prevalence.
