Myth: Arthritis is a normal part of aging.

Fact: Arthritis is a serious chronic disease that affects people of all ages. This includes children and young adults.

While the risk of some types of arthritis increases with age, arthritis is not natural “wear and tear” of the joints. It is a serious and debilitating disease that affects all aspects of life. Early diagnosis, movement, treatment, and research can all help improve life with arthritis.
