Prevalence of arthritis--Arizona, Missouri, and Ohio, 1991-1992.
Although regional and national data about arthritis can be used to develop synthetically derived measures of prevalence for states (1), few state surveys exist for determining the prevalence and impact of arthritis at that level. To measure state-specific prevalences, during 1991-1992 Arizona, Missouri, and Ohio added questions about arthritis to their Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) surveys. This report presents BRFSS-derived estimates of self-reported prevalence of clinically diagnosed arthritis in these states and characteristics of adults who reported this disorder.
