Note: We have always seen some fluctuation from year-to-year in state-specific BRFSS estimates, such as those for “Adults with arthritis” and “Adults limited by arthritis.”  This is partly a function of using BRFSS samples that by chance are more or less representative of the target population, and we caution against making too much of year-to-year variations and instead look at the long term trend.  State-specific BRFSS arthritis estimates remain the best that are available, and the main point for every state and territory is that arthritis has a large public health impact.

Estimates represented by an asterisk (*) have relative a standard error greater than 30% and do not meet the standards of reliability or precision.
