Arthritis Cripples over 43 million Americans

Posted on September 6, 2007 in Latest News

Australian Institute of Health and Welfare(AIHW) found that almost three million middle aged people in Australia are suffering from Arthritis and its related disorder.

The report finds: “Arthritis and osteoporosis are the most common causes of disability in Australia and contribute to a wide range of physical and functional impairments that affect quality of life”.

In America, the condition is even worse. We have over 43 million Americans suffering from Arthritis.

Arthritis limits people’s jobs they can perform and also limit their daily living activities and affect their ability to participate in social activities.
