Arthritis Is Forcing Millions of Americans Out of Work
- Arthritis-related disability remains high, with nearly half of adults with arthritis struggling to perform basic daily movements that affect independence, mobility, and quality of life
- About 40% of working-age adults with arthritis report that the condition limits their ability to work, threatening income, job security, and long-term financial stability during prime earning years
- Difficulty with walking and climbing stairs is the strongest signal of serious disability, showing that loss of mobility — not just pain — drives work and activity limitations
- Arthritis-related limitations are far more severe when other chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, anxiety, or depression are present, compounding physical and economic strain
- Addressing root drivers like chronic inflammation, excess mechanical joint stress, and impaired cellular energy slows joint damage and helps preserve mobility and work capacity
