Obesity Plus Arthritis Equals Even Less Exercise
The prevalence of self-reported physical inactivity for obese U.S. adults with arthritis was 22.7%, the agency reported in the May 20 issue of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
In comparison, the prevalence of inactivity was 13.5% for those with obesity alone and 16.1% for those with arthritis alone.
“Persons with arthritis have special barriers to physical activity, including concerns about aggravating arthritis pain and causing further joint damage, and lack of knowledge about which types and amounts of physical activity will not exacerbate their arthritis,” an editorial note in the report states.
