Considered the most prevalent of chronic diseases, arthritis is the inflammation or damage of a joint.  It's usually accompanied by pain, swelling, stiffness and/or problems moving.  Affecting people of all ages (including 300,000 children) and ethnicities, arthritis is more disabling than heart disease and stroke. It has also become a major national health problem and a major cause of disability in the United States. 

The Arthritis Foundation is the only nationwide, non-profit organization helping people take greater control by leading efforts to prevent, control and cure arthritis and related diseases.  Since its inception in 1948, the Arthritis Foundation has invested more than $400 million in arthritis research and has dramatically changed the landscape of this devastating disease.
