Osteoarthritis is one of the most frequent
causes of physical disability among adults. More than 20 million
people in the United States have the disease. By 2030, 20
percent of Americans--about 70 million people--will have passed
their 65th birthday and will be at risk for osteoarthritis.
Some younger people get osteoarthritis from joint injuries,
but osteoarthritis most often occurs in older people. In fact,
more than half of the population age 65 or older would show
x-ray evidence of osteoarthritis in at least one joint. Both
men and women have the disease. Before age 45, more men than
women have osteoarthritis, whereas after age 45, it is more
common in women.
