Arthritis
Information
According to
The Arthritis Foundation,
arthritis is actually an umbrella term used for a group of more than
100 medical conditions that collectively affect nearly 46 million
adults and 300,000 children in America alone. While the most common
form of arthritis - osteoarthritis (OA) - is most prevalent in
people over 60, arthritis in its various forms can start as early as
infancy. Some forms affect people in their young-adult years as they
are beginning careers and families and still others start during the
peak career and child-rearing years.
