Geographic Variations in Arthritis Prevalence, Health-Related Characteristics, and Management — United States, 2015
Kamil E. Barbour, PhD; Susan Moss, MS; Janet B. Croft, PhD; et al.
Arthritis is a common chronic condition affecting an estimated 54 million adults in the United States. CDC analyzed data from the 2015 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System to characterize arthritis among adults aged ≥18 years in the United States (including Guam and Puerto Rico). This report provides state-level estimates of arthritis prevalence among adults. Health-related characteristics including general health, leisure-time physical activity and obesity, activity limitations, and pain as well as arthritis management measures were estimated. Possible state-specific clustering of health-related characteristics also was examined. The findings highlight notable geographic variability in arthritis prevalence, health-related characteristics, and management.
