Arthritis affects over 20% of American adults and nearly 50% of adults 65 and older. Arthritis is the most common reported cause of disability and the third leading cause of work limitation in the United States. Persistent racial/ethnic differences have been documented in the prevalence of arthritis and the limitations caused by arthritis. There are many theories on the persistence of disparities in ethnic minorities and women including differences in health-care access, use of available health-care services, language barriers, higher prevalence of obesity, and differences in types of work. A comprehensive multi-pronged strategy is key to effectively addressing the complex problem of persistent musculoskeletal health disparities. If musculoskeletal health professionals do not act, healthier patients may be “picked” for surgical interventions while complex patients with multiple co-morbidities (often from underrepresented minority groups) are “dropped” as potential surgical candidates. |
