On page 1090, the last sentence of the last paragraph should read: "Prevalence also was higher among those who were
obese (30.6%) or overweight (21.7%) compared with those who were normal weight or underweight (16.3%) and among
those who were physically inactive (25.0%) compared with those who were physically active (19.5%)."
On page 1091, the two full paragraphs should read:
"Unadjusted analyses for arthritis-attributable activity limitations among adults indicated an estimated overall prevalence of
8.8%, or 18.9 million persons, with differences among groups that were similar to those for doctor-diagnosed
arthritis prevalence. The exception was a similar prevalence for non-Hispanic blacks
(9.2%) and non-Hispanic whites (9.6%). Age-adjusted analyses identified differences among groups that were similar to the unadjusted figures except that prevalence
among non-Hispanic blacks (10.3%) significantly exceeded that for non-Hispanic whites
(8.9%)."
"In unadjusted analyses of all adults reporting arthritis,
40.9% reported arthritis-attributable activity limitation
(Table). Proportions were significantly higher among women
(42.3%) compared with men (38.8%) and among non-Hispanic
blacks (47.8%) and Hispanics (47.6%) compared with non-Hispanic whites
(39.5%). Persons with arthritis and activity limitations
also were more likely to have less than a high school education
(54.1% versus 38.0%) or to be obese (47.6% versus
36.4% underweight/normal weight) or physically inactive
(52.7% versus 31.3%). Age-adjusted analyses eliminated the significant difference
between men and women, but did not otherwise change the results."
On page 1092, the first sentence of the first paragraph should read:
"Editorial Note: The findings in this report
indicate that 21.6% (46.4 million) of U.S. adults reported doctor-diagnosed arthritis, and
8.8% (18.9 million) reported arthritis-attributable activity limitation during 2003--2005."
