Joint study. (goodnews).(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predict rise in cases of arthritis)(Brief Article)
The number of older Americans suffering from arthritis is expected to nearly double in about 25 years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta. Why? Primarily because millions of baby boomers are heading into retirement.
The CDC said May 29 that current data indicate that 41.1 million people aged 65 and older will suffer from arthritis or chronic joint symptoms by 2030--compared to an estimated 21.4 million in 2005.
The percentage of the US population that will be 65 and older is expected to grow to 20 percent in 2030 from 12.9 percent in 2005.
The CDC notes that rising obesity and physical inactivity among Americans are helping fuel the growing arthritis problem. Health experts believe that a combination of proper diet, weight control, exercise and regular medical treatment can control both the prevalence and severity of arthritis. There is no cure.
