In 2023, around 24 percent of adults in the United States with a family income less than 100 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL) had doctor-diagnosed arthritis in some form, compared to 20 percent of those from households with 200 percent of the FPL or higher. This statistic displays the prevalence of doctor-diagnosed arthritis in the adult population in the United States from 2019 to 2023, by income.

Arthritis prevalence in the United States shows a clear correlation with age, with nearly half of adults aged 65 and older experiencing the condition in 2023. This high prevalence among older Americans highlights the significant impact of arthritis on the aging population and underscores the importance of understanding its distribution across different demographic groups. Demographic variations in arthritis prevalence While age is a primary factor, other demographic characteristics also influence arthritis rates. In 2023, about 24 percent of women were diagnosed with arthritis, indicating a higher prevalence among females. Education levels also play a role, with approximately 30 percent of adults with less than a high school education reporting arthritis. Additionally, race appears to be a factor, as 11 percent of Asian adults were diagnosed with the condition as of 2023, compared to 23 percent of white adults. Geographic differences in arthritis rates Arthritis prevalence varies significantly across states, revealing geographic disparities in the condition's impact. In 2023, West Virginia had the highest rate, with 40 percent of adults affected by arthritis, compared to only 21 percent in Texas. The gender gap in arthritis rates is particularly pronounced in Delaware, where 34 percent of women reported having the condition, compared to 23 percent of men. These regional differences suggest that factors such as local healthcare access, lifestyle, and environmental conditions may influence arthritis prevalence.

This statistic depicts the share of elderly population aged 65 and over suffering from osteoarthritis in Spain in 2020, by age group. That year, approximately 56 percent of the elderly population aged 85 and over in Spain suffered from osteoarthritis.

In the United States, a knee replacement cost 35 thousand U.S. dollars, while in Israel the average cost is 25 thousand U.S. dollars. At the other end of the scale, a knee replacement costs 6.6 thousand U.S. dollars in India. Knee replacements are more common in older patients because they are more likely to have problems with the knee joint from conditions such as osteoarthritis.

Knee replacement procedures Switzerland had the highest prevalence of knee replacement surgeries among OECD countries in 2019. In that year, there were 250 procedures per 100,000 population in Switzerland, while in Finland there were 233 per 100,000. The U.S. based company Zimmer Biomet had the largest global share of knee and hip implants in 2019, with a 32 percent share.

Prevalence of osteoarthritis While not every case of osteoarthritis occurs in the knee joint or results in the need for a knee replacement surgery, it is an overriding cause. A knee replacement will also only be recommended once other therapies have not relieved the problem. In England, for example, over 40 percent of women and 26 percent of men aged over 50 years of age were living with arthritis in 2019. While in the United States, around 30 percent of all women and 20 of percent had been diagnosed with arthritis.
