Arthritis is a growing public health burden that is alarmingly common, affecting nearly 50 million adults in the United States.

While the prevalence of arthritis is somewhat related to the aging population and the “Baby Boomer” generation now reaching their 60s and 70s, it is also due to an increasing frequency of arthritis in younger people in their 40s and 50s.
