Expanding waistlines, inactivity and increasing age are contributing to an arthritis epidemic that will impact the lives and wallets of all Americans. Already the nation’s most common cause of disability, the impact of the disease is slated to increase in the decades to come. One in five adults in the United States (46 million people) has arthritis and an estimated 67 million people will be affected by 2030. Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common type of arthritis, currently affects nearly 27 million people in the United States.
