  1. The Arthritides Alexandra Hayes

  2. An arthritide is when a person has a type of Arthritis. • Arthritis occurs when there is inflammation of one or more joints in the body. There are over 100 different known rheumatic diseases

  3. Types • Childhood Arthritis • Fibromyalgia • General • Gout • Osteoarthritis • Rheumatoid Arthritis • Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE or lupus) • Traumatic arthritis

  4. Types

  5. Symptoms • Pain • aching, stiffness • swelling in or around the joints. • Some forms of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, can affect multiple organs and cause widespread symptoms.

  6. Diagnosis • If symptoms persist for more than 2 weeks a doctors appointment should be made. • The doctor should do an exam that includes medical history, lab test and x-rays

  7. Prevalence • A new study from CDC reports that 50 million U.S. adults have arthritis • Overall Osteoarthritis affects an estimated 26.9 million US adults • Rheumatoid Arthritis affects an estimated 1.5 million US adults • Juvenile arthritis affects 294,000 children, • Systemic lupus erythematosusaffects from 161,000 to 322,000 adults

  8. Prevalence

  10. Age • Although arthritis is more common among adults aged 65 years or older, people of all ages (including children) can be affected. Nearly two-thirds of people with arthritis are younger than age 65 years

  11. Race • Non-Hispanic White  • 23.8% • Non-Hispanic Black • 19.4% • Hispanic    • 11.1% • American Indian/Alaska Native     • 25.2% • Asian/Pacific Islander     • 8.4% • Multiracial/Other • 20.7%

  12. Gender • The prevalence of arthritis is higher in women than in men

  13. Incidence • For juvenile arthritis :4,800–11,000 new cases in the United States in 2003 • Hand Osteoarthritis : 100 per 100000 • Hip Osteoarthritis : 88 per 100000 • Knee Osteoarthritis : 240 per 100000 • For RheumatoidArthritis:41 per 100,000 people a year

  14. Disability • Annually over 21 million Americans indicate that their arthritis has limited their physical activity and mobility • Which is why arthritis is considered the leading cause of disability in the United States.

  19. Mortality • Patients with chronic arthritis have a greater risk of mortality because they are more prone to infection, renal disease, and respiratory conditions • The female mortality rate for women with Rheumatoid Arthritis is 2.4 deaths per 100000 people per year • Male mortality rate for men with Rheumatoid Arthritis for men was 2.5 deaths per 100000

  21. Risk Factors • Age • Gender • Genetic • Overweight and Obesity • Joint Injuries • Infection • Occupation

  22. Costs • In 2005, the total expenditures among U.S. adults with arthritis was $353 billion .

  23. Costs

  24. Prevention/Treatment • Behavioral/Lifestyle Changes - Diet/Weight Control - Physical Activity • Injury Prevention - Take precautions to avoid repetitive joint use and resulting joint injury - Use injury prevention strategies like warm ups to avoid joint injuries and damage to ligaments and cartilage

  25. Prevention/Treatment • Use hot and cold compresses on joints for short-term pain relief • Topical Pain Relievers • Anti-inflammatory Painkillers (NSAIDs) • Steroids • Hyaluronan Injections • Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (DMARDs)

  26. Intervention Programs • Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) • Active Living Every Day (ALED) • Arthritis Foundation Aquatic Program(AFAP) • Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) • Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program(AFEP) • Arthritis Self-Management Program (ASMP)

  27. Funds

  28. Research • A Systems Approach to Improving Arthritis Clinical Care • Algorithm to Identify Clinically Significant Arthritis with Functional Limitation • Arthritis Benefits Of A Physical Activity Program In West Virginia • Arthritis Disability—Multiplicity and Accommodations • Arthritis Self-Management Education — Dose–Response • Comparisons of the Outcomes of the Arthritis Self-Help Course (ASHC) and the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) among People with Arthritis. (University of Illinois)

  29. Current Research • Evaluation of First Step to Active Health • Choosing Arthritis-appropriate Physical Activity • Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project • Lupus Registries
