Adults with Arthritis

Census Place (City): Redwood City
Measurement Period: 2022
This indicator shows the percentage of adults aged 18 and over who have been told by a health professional that they have arthritis.

Why is this important?

Arthritis is a collection of conditions and disorders of the joints, bones, muscles, cartilage and other connective tissues. According to the Arthritis Foundation, more than 50 million adults have doctor-diagnosed arthritis, and arthritis is the number 1 cause of disability in the U.S. Two common types of arthritis are Osteoarthritis (OA)and Rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Osteoarthritis (OA), sometimes called degenerative joint disease, is the most common form of arthritis. Osteoarthritis is characterized by the breakdown of the joint's cartilage as well as bony overgrowth, leading to pain and joint stiffness. Common risk factors for OA include genetics, advanced age, obesity, and injury.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic inflammatory arthritis and an autoimmune disease that typically affects the small joints of the hands and feet, but can also impact other organs. Symptoms include pain, swelling, stiffness and loss of function of the affected joint. Treatments include medications, lifestyle changes and surgery.
