Arthritis is a leading cause of work-related disability and the leading cause of disability among persons aged > or = 65 years in the United States (1). However, there are few national or state-specific estimates and no projections of arthritis prevalence or its impact (2). To develop national and state estimates of arthritis prevalence and physical activity limitation for 1990 and to project these measures through 2020, rates derived from household interview data from the 1989-1991 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) were applied to the 1990 census population and to census population projections. This report presents the results of that analysis.
在美国，关节炎是导致与工作相关残疾的主要原因，也是65岁及以上人群残疾的主要原因（1）。然而，几乎没有全国性或特定州的相关估计数据，也没有关于关节炎患病率及其影响的预测（2）。为了得出1990年关节炎患病率和身体活动受限情况的全国及各州估计数据，并预测到2020年这些指标的情况，将1989 - 1991年全国健康访谈调查（NHIS）的家庭访谈数据得出的比率应用于1990年的人口普查数据以及人口普查人口预测数据。本报告展示了该分析的结果。
