Depressive Symptoms and the Arthritis-Employment Interface: A Population-Level Study.

Objective: To examine the relationship between depressive symptoms, arthritis, and employment, and to determine whether this relationship differs across young, middle-age, and older working-age adults with arthritis.

Methods: Data from the US National Health Interview Survey from 2013-2017 were analyzed. Analyses were restricted to adults with doctor-diagnosed arthritis of working age (ages 18-64 years) with complete data on depressive symptoms (n = 11,380).

Where Have All the Patients Gone? Profile of US Adults Who Report Doctor-Diagnosed Arthritis But Are Not Being Treated.

Background: Patients only benefit from clinical management of arthritis if they are under the care of a physician or other health professional.

Objectives: We profiled adults who reported doctor-diagnosed arthritis who are not currently being treated for it to understand better who they are.

Methods: Individuals with no current treatment (NCT) were identified by "no" to "Are you currently being treated by a doctor or other health professional for arthritis or joint symptoms?" Demographics, current symptoms, physical functioning, arthritis limitations and interference in life activities, and level of agreement with treatment and attitude statements were assessed in this cross-sectional, descriptive study of noninstitutionalized US adults aged 45 years or older with self-reported, doctor-diagnosed arthritis (n = 1793).

Supporting self-management education for arthritis: Evidence from the Arthritis Conditions and Health Effects Survey on the influential role of health care providers.

Objective: Self-management education programs are recommended for many chronic conditions. We studied which adults with arthritis received a health care provider's recommendation to take a self-management education class and who attended.

Methods: We analyzed data from a 2005--2006 national telephone survey of US adults with arthritis ≥45 years ( = 1793).

Leisure Time and Transportation Walking Among Adults With and Without Arthritis in the United States, 2010.

Objective: Walking is a joint-friendly activity for adults with arthritis. The aim of this study was to estimate, among adults with arthritis, the prevalence of leisure and transportation walking overall (by arthritis status and by sociodemographic and health characteristics), the number of total minutes walking per week in each domain, and the distributions of walking bout length (i.e.

Geographic Variations in Arthritis Prevalence, Health-Related Characteristics, and Management - United States, 2015.

Problem/condition: Doctor-diagnosed arthritis is a common chronic condition affecting an estimated 23% (54 million) of adults in the United States, greatly influencing quality of life and costing approximately $300 billion annually. The geographic variations in arthritis prevalence, health-related characteristics, and management among states and territories are unknown. Therefore, public health professionals need to understand arthritis in their areas to target dissemination of evidence-based interventions that reduce arthritis morbidity.

Prevalence of Arthritis and Arthritis-Attributable Activity Limitation by Urban-Rural County Classification - United States, 2015.

Rural populations in the United States have well documented health disparities, including higher prevalences of chronic health conditions (1,2). Doctor-diagnosed arthritis is one of the most prevalent health conditions (22.7%) in the United States, affecting approximately 54.

Prevalence and causes of work disability among working-age U.S. adults, 2011-2013, NHIS.

Background: Chronic conditions are among the major causes of work disability (WD), which is associated with lower employment, less economic activity, and greater dependence on social programs, while limiting access to the benefits of employment participation.

Chronic Disease Disparities by County Economic Status and Metropolitan Classification, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, 2013.

Introduction: Racial/ethnic disparities have been studied extensively. However, the combined influence of geographic location and economic status on specific health outcomes is less well studied. This study's objective was to examine 1) the disparity in chronic disease prevalence in the United States by county economic status and metropolitan classification and 2) the social gradient by economic status.

Updated Projected Prevalence of Self-Reported Doctor-Diagnosed Arthritis and Arthritis-Attributable Activity Limitation Among US Adults, 2015-2040.

Objective: To update the projected prevalence of arthritis and arthritis-attributable activity limitations among US adults, using a newer baseline for estimates.

Methods: Baseline prevalence data were obtained from the 2010-2012 National Health Interview Survey. Arthritis was defined as an answer of "yes" to the question "Have you ever been told by a doctor or other health professional that you have some form of arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, lupus or fibromyalgia?" Arthritis-attributable activity limitation was defined as an answer of "yes" to the question "Are you limited in any way in any of your usual activities because of arthritis or joint symptoms?" The baseline prevalence of arthritis and arthritis-attributable activity limitation was stratified according to age and sex and was statistically weighted to account for the complex survey design.
