Abbreviation: CI = confidence interval.
* Age standardized to the 2000 U.S. projected population, using three age groups: 18–44, 45–64, and ≥65 years.
† Respondents with arthritis who answered a lot to the question “During the past 30 days, to what extent has your arthritis or joint symptoms interfered with your normal social activities, such as going shopping, to the movies, or to religious or social gatherings?”
§ Doctor-diagnosed arthritis was defined as a yes response to the question “Has a doctor, nurse, or other health professional ever told you that you have some form of arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, lupus, or fibromyalgia?”
¶ Median and range were calculated from estimates for the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
