Summary
FIGURE. Age-adjusted* prevalence of doctor-diagnosed arthritis among adults, by sex and body mass index (BMI) category† --- National Health Interview Survey, United States, 2007--2009
- Age adjusted to the 2000 U.S. projected adult population, using three age groups: 18--44 years, 45--64 years, and ≥65 years.
† BMI = weight (kg) / height (m2). Categorized as follows: underweight/normal weight (<25.0), overweight (25.0 to <30.0), and obese (≥30.0).
Alternate Text: The figure above shows age-adjusted prevalence of doctor-diagnosed arthritis among adults in the United States from 2007-2009, by sex and body mass index (BMI) category. Among both men and women, age-adjusted arthri¬tis prevalence increased significantly with increasing BMI (p<0.001 for trend). The age-adjusted preva¬lence among persons who are obese (25.2% for men and 33.8% for women) was approximately double that for persons who are underweight/normal weight (13.8% for men and 18.9% for women).
