Arthritis Strikes 1 in 3 Adults with Prediabetes


In the United States, approximately 1 in 3 adults with prediabetes has arthritis, a study published online November 9 in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report suggests. And, among those with both conditions, at least half are physically inactive and/or have obesity, which further increases their risk for type 2 diabetes.
“Health care and public health professionals can address arthritis-specific barriers to physical activity by promoting evidence-based physical activity interventions. Furthermore, weight loss and physical activity promoted through the National Diabetes Prevention Program can reduce the risk for type 2 diabetes and reduce pain from arthritis,” write Michelle Sandoval-Rosario, MPH, from the Division of Population Health, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia, and colleagues.
An estimated 54 million American adults have arthritis, and approximately 84 million US adults have prediabetes. However, the prevalence of arthritis among adults with prediabetes is unknown.
