Abstract
INTRODUCTION: In 2016, leisure time physical activity among U.S. adults aged ≥18 years with and without arthritis was studied to provide estimates using contemporary guidelines (2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans) and population-based data (U.S. National Health Interview Survey). METHODS: Estimated prevalence of: (1) meeting aerobic, muscle strengthening, and both aerobic and muscle strengthening guidelines, by arthritis status, from 2008 to 2015; and (2) meeting guidelines across selected sociodemographic characteristics and health status and behaviors, among adults with arthritis, in 2015. RESULTS: In 2015, 36.2%, 17.9%, and 13.7% of adults with arthritis met aerobic, muscle strengthening, and both guidelines, respectively; age-standardized prevalence of meeting each guideline was significantly lower among those with arthritis versus those without (e.g., 41.9% [95% CI=39.5%, 44.3%] and 52.2% [95% CI=51.2%, 53.2%] met the aerobic guideline, respectively; p<0.001). From 2008 to 2015, meeting aerobic guideline rose modestly (3 percentage points) among those with arthritis compared with larger gains (7 percentage points) among those without arthritis; the percentage of adults with arthritis meeting muscle strengthening and both guidelines remained the same in contrast to modest (statistically significant) increases among those without arthritis. Among adults with arthritis, age-standardized percentage meeting each guideline was highest among those with at least a university degree. CONCLUSIONS: Percentage meeting each guideline was persistently low among adults with arthritis. The lower prevalence among adults with arthritis versus those without suggests that adults with arthritis need additional strategies to address potential barriers (e.g., pain, psychological distress, inadequate medical support) to physical activity.
