Juvenile arthritis affects an estimated 285,000 children in the United States. For many, it begins when they are very young and follows them like a bad dream into adulthood. It is estimated that by the year 2020 a staggering 18.2% of the population will suffer the debilitating effects of arthritis. And if you think that arthritis is a disease of the elderly, you are mistaken. More than half of arthritis patients are under 65 years of age!
