PY - 2021 T2 - Current Diagnosis & Treatment in Orthopedics, 6e AB - The Arthritis Foundation reported that there are over 100 types of arthritis. And about 91.2 million adults either have physician-diagnosed arthritis and/or report joint symptoms consistent with a diagnosis of arthritis. This translates to almost one in three persons aged 18 to 64 years. After the age of 65, half of men and two-thirds of women have arthritis. The incidence is on the rise, and it is estimated that by 2040, almost half the population will have physician-confirmed arthritis. Arthritis and polyarticular arthritis, in particular, are more common in females and obese people. Age significantly increases the prevalence. One estimate puts the total costs related to arthritis (eg, medical care, earning losses, lost time) at 1% of US gross domestic product equaling about $304 billion for the 2013 fiscal year. Among people with arthritis, 33% have depression or anxiety, 25% have cardiac problems, 20% have respiratory conditions, and 16% have diabetes. It is likely that arthritis predisposes people to these comorbidities through physical inactivity.
