Importance of Joint Health
May 18th, 2010
Joint discomfort is not only experienced by old people. It doesn’t always go hand in hand with retirement and aging. Although 59% of people over age 65 experience joint discomfort, the condition also affects 42% of American adults between 45 and 64 years old. The surprising thing is 10% of adults between 18 and 44 don’t have good joint health either.
Joint discomfort alone is costing the US over $50 billion in medical costs every year. More and more, people need to realize the importance of taking care of one’s musculoskeletal and joint health. Whether you are an active person or someone who has let his physical health slip in recent years, you must make time to learn more about how joint discomfort can affect you in the coming years.
