Program Descriptions![]() MichiganMichigan Arthritis InitiativeState BurdenIn 2003, 2.4 million persons in Michigan aged 18 years or older, nearly one-third of the adult population, reported that they had been told by a doctor that they had arthritis. Over one-third (36.4%) of those with arthritis—approximately 875,000 individuals—reported that their usual activities were limited because of their arthritis or joint symptoms. Exactly one-third (33.3%) of those with arthritis who were 18 to 64 years of age said that their arthritis affected their work (for pay). The prevalence of arthritis increased with age: nearly 47 percent of
persons 45 to 64 years of age reported this disease, while 63 percent of
all persons 65 years of age or older reported it. Adult females were at
higher risk of arthritis than males (35% vs. 29%), but arthritis
prevalence did not differ significantly among white, non-Hispanic
adults; black non-Hispanic adults; or Hispanic adults. Adults with
greater than a high school education were less likely to report
arthritis than those with less education. Adults who were obese or
physically inactive had substantially higher rates of arthritis (43.2%
and 43.6%, respectively) than the general adult population (32.3%). Michigan Arthritis Collaborative PartnershipThe Michigan Arthritis Collaborative Partnership (MACP) is a diverse, statewide alliance of arthritis stakeholders representing public and private organizations who work together to implement key elements of the Michigan Arthritis Action Plan. The MACP promotes and supports: evidence-based programs for people affected by arthritis; professional education surrounding arthritis care; surveillance to understand the health and economic burden of arthritis in Michigan; and awareness that arthritis is a leading cause of disability in Michigan. MACP members represent the following organizations: the Michigan Office on Services to the Aging, academic institutions, local and state departments of public health, Arthritis Foundation Michigan Chapter, Michigan Department of Education, Michigan Center for Rural Health, Area Agencies on Aging and the Governor’s Council of Physical Fitness. Also, importantly, the MACP membership includes people who have arthritis. Key Partners
