Resources for Hispanics from the
Arthritis Foundation
Nearly three million Hispanic adults in the United States report
doctor-diagnosed arthritis, and millions more report chronic joint pain but have
not seen a doctor. Despite a lower prevalence of arthritis than non-Hispanic
whites or non-Hispanic blacks, Hispanics report more severe joint pain and a higher
proportion of work limitations than
these groups.
The Arthritis Foundation has many resources for Hispanics to help you control arthritis or chronic joint pain and maintain
your quality of life without limitations from arthritis.
