A recent report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that one-third of adults in rural areas have arthritis, and that more than one-half of that population is limited in their daily activities by the condition. In Kentucky, more than one million adults have doctor-diagnosed arthritis and more than half of those with arthritis live in rural parts of the state. The report also showed that 45 percent of working age adults say that arthritis limits their ability to work. Teri Wood, principal investigator on the CDC Arthritis Grant for the Kentucky Department of Public Health, said their program is always seeking local organizations to provide proven exercise and self-management programs that help relieve arthritis pain.
