WHATKINDSOFARTHRITISARETHERE? Arthritis is the most common chronic illness in the nation. According to Arthritis.org, “More than 50 million adults and 300,000 children have some type of arthritis. It is most common among women and occurs more frequently as people get older.” This is most likely why there is a misconception that arthritis only affects the elderly. Did you know that there are over 100 types of arthritis? Below is a list of some of the most common ones and what part of the body they affect the most. Psoriatic arthritis.
