Award-winning Cookeville Regional Medical Center growing, adding servicesBy KEVIN DONALDSONCumberland River Media Service

Cookeville Regional Medical Center has experienced significant growth in recent years, and has developed into a true regional referral center.

Those were observations made by CRMC Chief Executive Officer Paul Korth in a recent interview for the Upper Cumberland MEDICAL DIRECTORY.

Korth also discussed the hospital’s affiliation with Vanderbilt Hospital, and national-level awards CRMC has received in recent years, among other topics.

Following are the highlights of the interview.

1. Talk about recent major projects that have been completed at Cookeville Regional Medical Center.

KORTH: After adding our north patient tower several years ago, along with expanding the surgery and emergency departments, Cookeville Regional has experienced significant growth. As a result, it’s become neces-sary to expand some of those areas that house our support services. The most recent construction/renovation projects have involved relocating the pharmacy department so we would have physical space available to expand the central sterile services department. Those departments are typically not seen by the public, but are crucial to the services we provide.

The central sterile services de-partment cleans and sterilizes all surgi-cal instruments, medical devices and equipment. With the expansion of the surgery department a couple of years ago and with surgical cases increasing at Cookeville Regional, expansion of

this department was critical to both the present and future growth of our hospital.

2. What about current projects, or projects planned for the future?

KORTH: We have recently opened an outpatient pharmacy for the convenience of our patients. After discharge, patients may fill their initial prescription before leaving the hos-pital. This pharmacy is not designed to compete with area retail pharma-cies, but will provide a 30-day, or short-term, supply of medications for patients to help with their transition home from the hospital.

Oftentimes, patients will forget to fill their prescriptions on the way home and may miss some important doses before they get the opportunity to fill the prescriptions. Having the option to fill the initial supply at the hospital will help reduce that possibil-ity.

In the near future, Cookeville Regional will be opening a wound care center in conjunction with Middle Tennessee Surgical Special-ists. Expected to open in April 2015, the center will include two hyperbaric chambers to be used in the treatment of wounds. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves exposing the body to 100 per-cent oxygen delivered at high pressure to aid in the healing of wounds.

Cookeville Regional Medical Center is continually recruiting and adding new physicians. Last year, we recruited 19 physicians, and already this year, we have added 10 more phy-sicians in specialties like rheumatology, cardiology, neurology, gastroenterology, urology and nephrology, as well as a number of primary care physicians and hospitalists.

3. Discuss CRMC and affiliates being the “at home” choice for Upper Cumberland residents.

KORTH: Cookeville Regional has developed into a regional referral center for the Upper Cumberland. Truly, the days of having to go to a

larger city for health care have passed. For most health issues, it’s no longer necessary to travel outside the Upper Cumberland for care.

We offer more than 40 medi-cal and surgical specialties, with over 200 physicians on the medical staff. Cookeville Regional offers patients the same kind of care that they could expect in a larger metropolitan area including specialty care such as cardiology, electrophysiology, cardiac and thoracic surgery, vascular surgery, pulmonology, cancer treatment, or-thopedics, physical rehabilitation and neurosurgery.

Cookeville Regional also houses a 32-bed behavioral health hospital owned and operated by Ten Broeck Tennessee.

Cookeville Regional has con-tinually invested in state-of-the-art technology. The Cancer Center offers TomoTherapy® and is one of only two facilities in the state to offer this technology for the treatment of cancer patients.

The Outpatient Imaging Center houses a 3T MRI machine that provides highly-detailed and precise images to help in diagnosis of certain health issues, while the state-of-the art Surgery Department has upgraded its daVinci robotic surgery system to the daVinci SiTM Surgical System. It’s one of only six in Tennessee equipped with the latest in robotic surgery technology.

Cookeville Regional was the first hospital in Tennessee to offer robotic surgery in five specialties (gynecology, urology, cardiothoracic surgery, general surgery and ENT surgery).

As an accredited chest pain center with interventional capabilities, Cookeville Regional is proud to spear-head an effort in the region around the treatment of heart attack patients that is ahead of most other communities in the nation.

The cardiologists have worked diligently with area EMS teams

(county-owned services) on a protocol they call “Code 37” that allows an EMS team to diagnose a STEMI heart attack in the field, and thereby initiate the “Code 37” protocol.

When initiated, Code 37 calls for the cardiac catheterization team and interventional cardiologist to be wait-ing and ready to treat as soon as the patient arrives. With this process in place, the Heart and Vascular Center has achieved an average of 43 minutes for their door-to-balloon time – well below the recognized gold standard of 90 minutes.

Cookeville Regional has elevated its breast program to the next level and is now among an elite group of institutions nationwide providing breast care after receiving a three-year/full accreditation designation by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), a program administered by the American College of Surgeons.

This achievement makes Cookev-ille Regional’s breast program the only accredited breast center in the Upper Cumberland. The breast imaging cen-ter has also been designated a center of excellence by the American College of Radiology.

With both organizations putting their seal of approval on our program, women in our region can rest assured that they are getting the best in breast care at Cookeville Regional, from the screening process to diagnosis and treatment.

4. Tell us about your affiliation with Vanderbilt.

KORTH: Two years ago, Cookeville Regional and Vanderbilt announced an affiliation agreement to formalize a collaborative relationship between the two institutions. The affiliation agreement creates significant opportunities for both parties to work together to expand the scope of health

Plan early and look beyond todaySubmitted

Perhaps your parent has made a comment or two that they may need to make some changes in their life. Though it might be hard to think of your parents as vulnerable, it’s good to be realistic and to help them con-tinue to be involved in planning their life. Together, you, your siblings and your parent can take the first impor-tant step to find the best solution for what your senior needs.

Here are some practical tips as you gather information and become informed about the options available for your parent:

• Take an inventory and get or-ganized. Survey all the resources at the family’s disposal, which include people- children, other relatives, neighbors and friends who will be able to help- as well as crucial docu-ments and financial resources.

• Prepare to be flexible. No matter which of the care options you choose, it’s likely that the alterna-tive will have to be modified or even discarded in time. So be flexible. It is likely that no resolution will be permanent.

• Research your options to find the best resources for your loved one. Contact your local Area Agency on Aging or a geriatric care manager to research resources in your communi-ty. Or go to www.homeinstead.com and click on the resources tab for The Home Care Solution, a guide for family caregivers to help them find the best in-home care for their loved ones. If you decide outside help is needed, reassure your parents and tell them you have researched caregivers and you are confident you have found the best one you can find to come into the home to help.

• Join a support group. To boost self-assurance, you might want to join a support group for caregivers in your community, or online, such as ElderCare Online’s Caregiver Support Center at ec-online.net/Community/Activists/can.htm.

• Review the estate planning process. A comprehensive, written estate plan designates a power of attorney for someone else to act in their behalf should they become incapacitated; that sets out their wishes for medical treatment at the end of life; that designates a health care proxy when they can no longer make choices on their own; and explains how they want their estate distributed upon death.

• Help set up a will. Even when the financial consequences of dying without a will are small, the emotional repercussions can be tremendous. Your parents should also put in writing how they want their remains handled.

• Set in place an advance direc-tive. This document, sometimes referred to as a living will, states the signer’s wishes in case some accident or medical episode leaves him near death with little or no chance of recovery.

• Designate a power of attorney. The senior should give someone the power of attorney to act on his behalf if he is disabled in an accident or by an illness.

• Review insurance coverage. Sorting through the carious insur-ance options can be a major task. Find out what coverage your senior already has- life insurance, medigap policies (private insurance) and long-term insurance.

• Will children contribute? How much are you and your siblings willing to pay for the care of your parents? Be realistic and a little hard-nosed about this.

For local resources available to you, please call Home Instead Senior Care at 931-707-5595 (Crossville) or 931-526-1127 (Cookeville), or find more informa-tion at www.HomeInstead.com/Tennessee.

Courtesy Centers for Disease ControlMore than 90 percent of

U.S. children, aged 6-18 years, eat more sodium than recommended, putting them at risk for develop-ing high blood pressure and heart disease later in life, according to a new CDC Vital Signs report.

This report provides the most recent data detailing how much sodium school-age children eat and where it comes from. Using data from CDC’s 2009-2010 National Health and Nutri-tion Examination Survey, CDC researchers determined that about 43 percent of sodium eaten by children comes from the 10 foods they eat most often: pizza, bread

and rolls, cold cuts/cured meats, savory snacks, sandwiches, cheese, chicken patties/nuggets/tenders, pasta mixed dishes, Mexican mixed dishes, and soups.

“Too many children are consuming way too much sodium, and the result will be risks of high blood pressure and heart disease in the future,” said CDC Direc-tor Tom Frieden, M.D., M.P.H. “Most sodium is from processed and restaurant food, not the salt shaker. Reducing sodium intake will help our children avoid tragic and expensive health problems.”

Key findings in the Vital Signs report include:

• U.S. children aged 6 to

18 years eat an average of about 3,300 mg of sodium a day before salt is added at the table. The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that children eat less than 2,300 mg per day total.

• Most sodium is already in food before it is purchased or ordered. Approximately 65 per-cent comes from store foods, 13 percent from fast food and pizza restaurant foods, and 9 percent from school cafeteria foods.

To help reduce the amount of sodium children are consum-ing daily, parents and caregivers, as well as schools, communities, and places that sell, make or serve food, are all encouraged to take steps to ensure more low-sodium options. For example, parents can

establish healthy eating habits in their children by providing a diet high in fruits and vegetables without added sodium.

Schools and school districts can implement food purchasing policies and standards that reduce sodium in foods and put lower-sodium alternatives in vending machines, school stores and cafeterias. They can also strive to meet or exceed the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Nutrition Standards for foods served during the school day.

care services in Putnam County and the Upper Cumberland Region. The partnership allows us to expand ac-cess to health services and resources for residents in the region, but does not change ownership or management of Cookeville Regional.

Vanderbilt is a natural partner for Cookeville Regional in that they are well-respected and recognized as a leader in health care by the residents of our region. As one of the nation’s leading healthcare providers, they have a reputation of high quality and innovative health care.

As a partner with Vanderbilt, Cookeville Regional is a member of the Vanderbilt Health Affiliated Net-work, the largest provider-organized network of doctors, regional health systems and other healthcare providers in Tennessee and surrounding states. Pediatric specialists in cardiology and urology from Vanderbilt’s Children’s Hospital now have routine clinic hours in Cookeville for the convenience of

pediatric patients. We continue to work with Vanderbilt on several initia-tives, including educational programs and more pediatric specialty clinics.

5. Talk about recent awards the hospital has received.

KORTH: Our number one goal at Cookeville Regional is high-quality patient care and we are fortunate that other third-party national organiza-tions and companies have recognized the success of our efforts to provide the best care possible for patients. The most recent recognition that we’ve received came from Becker’s Hospital Review in their published list of 100 Great Community Hospitals. This list was based on hospitals’ accolades, quality of care and services provided to their patients.

The Becker’s Hospital Review editorial team selected hospitals for in-clusion based on rankings and awards from iVantage Health Analytics, Truven Health Analytics, CareChex and American Hospital Association. iVantage recognitions considered include Healthstrong Hospitals, which are organizations in the top tier of iVantage’s Hospital Strength Index

rankings, and the Top 100 Critical Ac-cess Hospital list, which indicates the critical access hospital performs as well or better at the median overall than all U.S. general acute-care hospitals in clinical and operational performance and financial outcomes. Inclusion on Truven Health Analytics’ 100 Top Hospitals list was also factored in.

We also continue to be recog-nized by Healthgrades for clinical excellence in several areas including being among America’s Best 100 Hospitals in 2014 for Cardiac Surgery, Cardiac Care, Coronary Intervention, Orthopedic Surgery

and Spine Surgery.For a hospital our size, it is quite

unique to offer the level of specialty care that we provide. To be recognized for the high quality of that care on a national level is quite significant. We have a great team here at Cookeville Regional – from physicians, physi-cian extenders, hospital staff and the volunteers – who work hard to ensure that we provide excellent care for our patients.

Each day we work harder to maintain our level of quality care and it certainly benefits the tens of thousands of patients we see each year.

CDC report finds sodium consumption high among U.S. childrenMore than 40 percent of sodium comes from 10 common types of food


More than 29 million Americans have diabetes; 1 in 4 doesn’t know

Courtesy Centers for Disease ControlMore than 29 million people

in the United States have diabetes, up from the previous estimate of 26 million in 2010, according to a report recently released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. One in four people with diabetes doesn’t know he or she has it.

Another 86 million adults – more than one in three U.S. adults – have prediabetes, where their blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as type 2 diabetes. Without weight loss and moderate physical activity, 15 percent to 30 percent of people with prediabetes will develop type 2 diabetes within five years.

“These new numbers are alarming and underscore the need

for an increased focus on reduc-ing the burden of diabetes in our country,” said Ann Albright, Ph.D., R.D., director of CDC’s Division of Diabetes Translation. “Diabe-tes is costly in both human and economic terms. It’s urgent that we take swift action to effectively treat and prevent this serious disease.”

Key findings from the Na-tional Diabetes Statistics Report, 2014 (based on health data from 2012), include:

• 29 million people in the United States (9.3 percent) have diabetes.

• 1.7 million people aged 20 years or older were newly diag-nosed with diabetes in 2012.

• Non-Hispanic black, His-panic, and American Indian/Alaska Native adults are about twice as likely to have diagnosed diabetes as

non-Hispanic white adults.• 208,000 people younger than

20 years have been diagnosed with diabetes (type 1 or type 2).

• 86 million adults aged 20 years and older have prediabetes.

• The percentage of U.S. adults with prediabetes is similar for non-Hispanic whites (35 percent), non-Hispanic blacks (39 percent), and Hispanics (38 percent).

Diabetes is a serious disease that can be managed through physical activity, diet, and appropri-ate use of insulin and oral medica-tions to lower blood sugar levels. Another important part of diabetes management is reducing other cardiovascular disease risk factors, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and tobacco use.

People with diabetes are at increased risk of serious health complications including vision loss, heart disease, stroke, kidney failure,

amputation of toes, feet or legs, and premature death.

In 2012, diabetes and its related complications accounted for $245 billion in total medical costs and lost work and wages. This figure is up from $174 billion in 2007.

For more information about diabetes and CDC’s diabetes pre-vention efforts, including evidence-based and cost-effective interven-tions, such as CDC’s National Diabetes Prevention Program, visit www.cdc.gov/diabetes.

Through the Affordable Care Act, more Americans can find and choose health care coverage that fits their needs and budget, including important preventive services such as diabetes screening that may be covered with no additional costs.

U.S. breastfeeding rates continue to riseCourtesy Centers for Disease Control

Breastfeeding rates have con-tinued to rise over the past decade, according to data recently released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The percent of babies breastfeeding at six months increased from 35 percent in 2000 to 49 percent in 2010. The percent of babies breastfeeding at 12 months also increased from 16 percent to 27 percent during that same time period. The data show that babies who started breastfeeding increased from 71 percent in 2000 to 77 percent in 2010.

“This is great news for the health of our nation because babies who are breastfed have lower risks of ear and gastrointestinal infections, diabetes and obesity, and mothers who breastfeed have lower risks of breast and ovarian cancers,” said CDC Director, Tom Frieden, M.D.

M.P.H. “Also, breastfeeding lowers health care costs. Researchers have calculated that $2.2 billion in yearly medical costs could be saved if breast-feeding recommendations were met. It is critical that we continue working to improve hospital, community and workplace support for breastfeeding mothers and babies and realize these cost savings.”

Hospitals are an important setting for supporting breastfeed-ing mothers and babies. The CDC reports that the percent of hospitals implementing key maternity practices that keep mothers and babies to-gether after birth have also increased. The percent of hospitals reporting newborn babies that ‘room in’ with their mother at least 23 hours per day increased from about 30 percent in 2007 to 37 percent in 2011. The percent of hospitals where most newborns were skin-to-skin with

their mother after birth climbed from about 41 percent in 2007 to over 54 percent in 2011.

“The period right after a baby is born is a critical time for establishing breastfeeding,” said Janet L. Collins, Ph.D., director of CDC’s Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity. “Rooming in and skin-to-skin contact help ensure that mothers and babies stay together and are able to start and continue breastfeeding.

These are meaningful steps hospitals can take to support mothers and families and help improve breastfeed-ing rates.”

Courtesy Cumberland River Media ServiceWell over a half-million Ameri-

cans are expected to lose their battle to cancer this year, but statistics show a 20 percent decline in those deaths over the past two decades.

Figures compiled by the Ameri-can Cancer Society (ACS) estimate 585,720 Americans will die due to cancer in 2014, which amounts to almost 1,600 people per day.

The ACS website says cancer “is the second most common cause of death in the US, exceeded only by heart disease, accounting for nearly one of every four deaths.”

The ACS figures also estimate there will be 1,665,540 new cancer cases in 2014, with prostate, breast, lung (and bronchus), and colon/rec-tum cancer accounting for the vast majority of those new cases.

The good newsThe most recent data comes

from the five-year period of 2006-2010. During that time, “cancer incidence rates declined slightly in men (by 0.6% per year) and were stable in women, while cancer death rates decreased by 1.8% per year in men and by 1.4% per year in women,” the ACS site said.

“The combined cancer death rate has been continuously declin-ing for two decades, from a peak of 215.1 per 100,000 in 1991 to 171.8 per 100,000 in 2010,” the site said. “This 20 percent decline translates to the avoidance of approximately 1,340,400 cancer deaths (952,700 among men and 387,700 among women) during this time period.”

The annual cancer statistics re-port also said the “magnitude of the decline in cancer death rates from 1991 to 2010 varies substantially by age, race, and sex.”

The ACS website also says the “five-year relative survival rate for

all cancers diagnosed between 2003 and 2009 is 68%, up from 49% in 1975-1977.”

A news release issued by the ACS in January said the American Cancer Society each year estimates the numbers of new cancer cases and deaths expected in the United States in the current year and com-piles the most recent data on cancer incidence, mortality, and survival. The report is based on incidence data from the National Cancer Institute and the Centers for Dis-ease Control and Prevention, and mortality data from the National Center for Health Statistics.

Numbers on new cases of cancer“Among men, prostate (27%),

lung (14%), and colon (8%) cancer will account for about half of all newly diagnosed cancers, with prostate cancer alone accounting for about one in four cases,” the ACS

website says. “Among women, the three most common cancers in 2014 will be breast, lung (13%), and colon (8%), which together will account for half of all cases. Breast cancer alone is expected to account for 29% of all new cancers among women.”

The figures show lung, colon, prostate and breast cancers continue to be the most common causes of cancer death, accounting for almost half of the cancer deaths among men and women. Just over one in four cancer deaths are due to lung cancer (more on that below).

Out of the over 1.6 million expected new cases in the U.S. this year, the numbers estimated for female breast, prostate and lung account for a huge proportion of all cases. Female breast and prostate cases are expected to be roughly

233,000 each, with lung just behind at 224,000 cases. The nearest num-ber to that (137,000) is expected to be colon/rectum. Skin melanoma (76,000) and urinary/bladder (75,000) are next in line.

The ACS also projects num-bers for each state. Tennessee is expected to have 36,570 new cancer cases in 2014, with lung, female breast, prostate and colon/rectum being the most prevalent, in that order.

Numbers on cancer fatalitiesOf the 585,000 expected

nationwide deaths from cancer in 2014, the ACS estimates that 28 percent of the deaths for men will be due to lung cancer. That will also be the biggest killer among women at 26 percent.

Prostate cancer is expected to be the number two killer for men (10%), while breast cancer will be the number two killer for women (15%). Colorectal cancer is expect-ed to be the number three killer for men (8%) and women (9%), with pancreatic cancer being number four (7%) for both.

In Tennessee, 14,280 cancer deaths are expected. Following the national numbers, lung cancer is expected to claim the largest num-ber of lives, with 4,600 expected fatalities. The only other number expected to even be above 1,000 is colorectal, with 1,220 deaths.

Southeast lung cancer deaths significantGeographic patterns in the

ACS stats also show Tennessee, and other southeastern states among the national leaders in the incidence of lung cancer fatalities in the five-year period from 2006-2010.

Tennessee fell in the high-est category of lung cancer deaths among men, described as 84.4 to 97.1 deaths per 100,000. Kentucky,

Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama all fell in that category.

Tennessee also fell in the high-est category of lung cancer deaths for women, described as 45.4 to 55.8 deaths per 100,000 women. Kentucky, Arkansas and Mississippi also fell in that category. Most of the other southeastern states fell in the next highest category as well, for both men and women.

It is estimated that smoking accounts for at least 30 percent of all cancer deaths, including 87 percent of lung cancer deaths among men and 70 percent of lung cancer deaths among women, the ACS says.

Misc. facts about cancer from the American Cancer Society:

• Anyone can get cancer at any age, but the risk goes up with age. About 77% of all cancers are diag-nosed in people age of 55 and older.

• About half of all men and one-third of all women in the US will develop cancer during their lifetimes.

• What is cancer? Cancer is the general name for a group of more than 100 diseases. Although there are many kinds of cancer, all cancers start because abnormal cells grow out of control. Untreated cancers can cause serious illness and death.

• How cancer starts - Cancer starts when cells in a part of the body start to grow out of control. Cancer cell growth is different from normal cell growth. Instead of dying, cancer cells continue to grow and form new, abnormal cells. Cancer cells can also invade (grow into) other tissues, something that normal cells can’t do. Growing out of control and invading other tissues are what makes a cell a cancer cell.

• Oncology - Oncology is the study of cancer. A doctor who specializes in treating people with cancer is called an oncologist. Usu-ally, an oncologist manages care and treatment once a person is diag-nosed with cancer.

SubmittedThe days of traditional x-rays,

goopy impressions, and waiting weeks to finish dental procedures are gone. With advances in dental technology, Dr. Johnny Shanks and his team at Northside Family Dentistry in Crossville are able to make your appointment faster, more comfortable and even more productive than before.

Using 3D digital imaging technology, Dr. Shanks is able

to eliminate the need for tradi-tional molds, instead making 3D impressions of your teeth using state-of-the-art software. This software then coordinates with an onsite milling machine to custom create your dental restoration, like a porcelain dental crown or onlay. These are created in a single visit, so there is no need to return for more work after your initial ap-pointment.

Dr. Shanks uses the Sirona

3D digital imaging system, allow-ing him additional guidance when placing implants, with custom milled guides—to make sure implants are ideally placed for a perfect fit. Not only will implants be precisely guided into place, this system allows Dr. Shanks to create the guide in-office, for same day implant placement. Dental im-plants look, feel, and function just as your natural teeth, so no one will know you’ve had dental work.

At Northside Family Den-tistry we want everyone to have the most welcoming, convenient and positive dental experience they can, and that is the primary reason we have invested in the latest dental technology available.

To learn more about what dental technology can do, and how it can help you gain the smile you’ve always wanted, call North-side Family Dentistry today to set up a consultation with Dr. Johnny Shanks at 931-210-6503 or visit Northside-Family-Dentistry.com

What is arthritis?• Arthritis is an umbrella term en-

compassing more than 100 conditions affecting joints and connective tissue.

• As there are different types of arthritis, there is no uniform set of symptoms. In general, arthritis and other related conditions are charac-terized by pain and stiffness in and around joints. Symptoms can develop gradually or they can appear suddenly.

• Conditions are clinically diagnosed by assessing medical history, symptoms and laboratory studies.

Who is affected?• Arthritis affects one in five

adults in the United States• This equates to an estimated

52.5 million adults.• Projections estimate this figure

will rise to 67 million by the year 2030.• Two-thirds of people with

arthritis are younger than age 65.• A greater proportion of Cauca-

sians (22%) report doctor-diagnosed arthritis than Hispanics (16%).

• However, Hispanics and Afri-can-Americans report higher rates of activity limitations and severe pain in comparison to Caucasians.

What is the impact of arthritis?• Activity limitations are com-

mon: over 22.7 million adults experi-ence limitations in everyday activities due to arthritis.

• Among adults with doctor-diagnosed arthritis, many report significant limitations in vital activities: walking 1/4 mile - 6 million; stooping/ bending/ kneeling - 8 million; climbing stairs - 5 million; social activities such as church and family gatherings - 2 million

• One quarter of adults with doctor diagnosed arthritis report severe pain in the last 30 days.

• Arthritis commonly occurs with and can complicate the management of other chronic diseases

• More than half the people with heart disease and diabetes also have arthritis.

• People with heart disease or diabetes in conjunction with arthritis are more likely to be inactive than people with none or just one of those conditions.

• Nearly one-third (30%) of obese Americans have arthritis; the combina-tion of obesity and arthritis makes them 44% more likely to be inactive.8

What is the cost to society?• Total cost attributable to

arthritis was estimated at $128 Billion in 2003, $81 Billion in direct medical expenses, and $47 Billion in indirect costs such as lost wages.

• Arthritis is the most common cause of disability among adults in the United States.10 Arthritis causes work limitations for 30% of working age people with the condition.

• An estimated 8.8 million work-ing Americans report work limitations.

• Arthritis negatively impacts the ability of American adults ≥45 years

old to volunteer (or do unpaid work outside of their home).

• 41% of people with arthritis (4.9 million) who volunteer reported arthri-tis impedes their ability to volunteer.

• 27% (6.8 million) of people with arthritis who do not volunteer cited arthritis as their main barrier to doing so.
