46 million Americans report that a doctor told them they have arthritis or other rheumatic conditions, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in the United States, limiting the activities of nearly 19 million adults.
Early diagnosis and appropriate management of arthritis, including self-management activities, can help people with arthritis decrease pain, improve function, stay productive, and lower health care costs. The CDC recommends the key self-management activities. Visit www.cdc.gov/arthritis for more information about managing your arthritis.
CDPH supports the community and is available for free trainings, health screenings services, and program materials.
