Prevalence and correlates of arthritis‐attributable work limitation in the US population among persons ages 18–64: 2002 National Health Interview Survey Data

Abstract

AAWL is highly prevalent, affecting millions of Americans and one-third of adults with doctor-diagnosed arthritis. Findings suggest the need for more targeted research to better understand the natural history, success of interventions, and effects of policy on AAWL. Public health interventions, including self-management education programs, may be effective in countering AAWL.
