Asthma symptoms children
The severity of arthritis affects each person differently on a daily basis. Yet, the impact of the disease is astounding. According to the Arthritis Foundation, forty-three million Americans have arthritis or a related condition, but nearly 4 million of them are African Americans; arthritis is one of the most common conditions reported among African Americans more common than heart disease, chronic bronchitis, asthma and diabetes; and after age 35, African American women report a higher rate of arthritis than Caucasian women. Research from the Arthritis Foundation also shows that Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis in African Americans, although it affects all races in similar frequency. However, gout and lupus affect African Americans more than people of other races. Two hundred and fifty thousand people have been diagnosed with lupus, and early detection and treatment of the disease is the first step toward coping with the disease, said John H. Klippel, M.D., medical director for the Arthritis Foundation
