On page 423, the fifth sentence of the first paragraph should read: "The results indicate that, among
50 states, the median projected increase in doctor-diagnosed arthritis from 2005 to 2030 will be
34%; a total of 10 states are projected to have increases of
50% to 99%, and three states are projected to see their numbers more than
double."
The last paragraph should read: "From 2005 to 2030, the number of adults with doctor-diagnosed arthritis
is projected to increase by a median of
34% in 50 states (range:
10% [West Virginia] to 134% [Arizona]); in 10 states, the projected increase ranges from
50% to 99%; three states (Arizona, Florida, and Nevada) are projected to see
their numbers more than double (Table). The median
projected increase in the absolute number of persons with
doctor-diagnosed arthritis in these same states is
310,000 (range: 21,000 [North Dakota] to 3,654,000 [Florida]);
the comparable median increase in those with arthritis-attributable activity limitations is
103,000 (range: 8,000 [North Dakota] to 1,336,000 [Florida]) (Table).
Primarily because of an expected population decline, the District
of Columbia is projected to have decreases in the numbers of adults with doctor-diagnosed arthritis and
arthritis-attributable activity limitations."
The footnote at the bottom of the second column should read:
"The number of adults with
arthritis-attributable activity limitations is projected to increase similarly."
On page 425, the second sentence of the first paragraph should read: "On the basis of U.S.
Census-projected increases in state populations overall and their older age distributions, all
50 states are expected to have an increase
in the number of adults reporting doctor-diagnosed
arthritis and arthritis-attributable activity limitations by the
year 2030, including 10 states with increases of
>50%, and three states that are projected to see their numbers more
than double."
