Addressing the Nation’s Most Common Cause of Disability
At A Glance 2015

About 1 out of every 5 US adults has doctor-diagnosed arthritis. The term arthritis includes more than 100 different rheumatic diseases and conditions, the most common of which is osteoarthritis. Other forms of arthritis that occur often are rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, fibromyalgia, and gout.
Symptoms include pain, aching, stiffness, and swelling in or around the joints. Some forms of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, can affect multiple organs and cause widespread symptoms.
Many people think of arthritis as a disease that only affects the elderly, but it affects people of all ages, including children. Although the risk of developing arthritis increases with age, nearly two-thirds of people with arthritis are younger than 65. Arthritis is more common among women (26%) than men (19%), and it affects members of all racial and ethnic groups.
As the US population ages, the number of adults with arthritis is expected to increase to 67 million by 2030. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is leading the nation’s efforts to help the millions of adults with arthritis to live well and manage their condition.
Arthritis Occurs with Other Chronic Conditions
Arthritis is much more common among people who have other chronic conditions. About half of US adults with heart disease (49%) or diabetes (47%) also have arthritis. In addition, 44% of those with high blood pressure and 31% of those who are obese have arthritis. Having arthritis in addition to other chronic conditions can reduce quality of life and make disease management more difficult.

Estimating Costs
In 2003, medical expenditures and lost earnings due to arthritis and other rheumatic conditions in the United States were about $128 billion. CDC is conducting studies to update these estimates and better understand the direct (medical) and indirect (lost earnings) costs associated with arthritis. Estimates of annual medical expenditures and absenteeism (average lost workdays) at the state level for 2006-2010 are available from the online Chronic Disease Cost Calculator .
Current studies are assessing medical expenditures for all types of arthritis combined and for specific conditions (e.g., osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis) and for specific services and treatments (e.g., ambulatory care, hospitalizations, medications).
