The article presents the results of an analysis conducted by the US Centers for Disease
Control & Prevention (CDC) which sought to estimate the prevalence of diagnosed
arthritis among adults with diabetes and physical inactivity among adults with diabetes by
arthritis status. The analysis indicated that arthritis prevalence was 52.0% among adults with
diagnosed diabetes and the prevalence of physical inactivity was higher among adults with
diabetes and arthritis compared with adults with diabetes alone.

The article discusses a study made by the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) on the effect of arthritis on adults with heart disease (HD). The study is based on the
2005 and 2007 data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). It was
found that arthritis affects the functioning ability of adults with HD including additional
barriers such as arthritic pain and concerns for future joint damage. Pain management
through moderate aerobics and muscle strengthening exercises is recommended.
