We used log\u2010Poisson regression to obtain prevalence ratios for arthritis and AAL, adjusting for education, income, having a regular doctor, physical inactivity, and obesity. PAR% for obesity and physical inactivity were calculated.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The estimated crude prevalence of arthritis and AAL were 18.7% and 9.3%, respectively, in the US and 16.9% and 7.4%, respectively, in Canada. Being American was a significant bivariate predictor of arthritis and AAL, but not after adjustment for obesity and physical inactivity. PAR% for obesity were 14% and 20% for arthritis and AAL, respectively, for Americans and 13% and 17%, respectively, for Canadians, and for physical inactivity were 15% and 21%, respectively, for Americans and 4% and 5%, respectively, for Canadians, with estimates being higher among women.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The higher prevalence of arthritis and AAL in the US may be accounted for by the higher prevalence of obesity and physical inactivity, particularly in women. The high PAR% related to obesity in both countries, and physical inactivity in the US, point to the importance of public health initiatives to reduce obesity and increase physical activity to reduce the prevalence of arthritis and AAL.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/acr.20100","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,1,28]],"date-time":"2010-01-28T15:03:45Z","timestamp":1264691025000},"page":"308-315","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Arthritis and arthritis\u2010attributable activity limitations in the United States and Canada: A cross\u2010border comparison"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"62","author":[{"given":"Elizabeth M.","family":"Badley","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hina","family":"Ansari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,2,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","first-page":"505","article-title":"Relative importance of musculoskeletal disorders as a cause of chronic health problems, disability, and health care utilization: findings from the 1990 Ontario Health Survey","volume":"21","author":"Badley EM","year":"1994","journal-title":"J Rheumatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_2","first-page":"1089","article-title":"Prevalence of doctor\u2010diagnosed arthritis and arthritis\u2010attributable activity limitation: United States, 2003\u20132005","volume":"55","author":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention","year":"2006","journal-title":"MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/art.1790080404"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/3350158"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/art.21562"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_2","first-page":"1856","article-title":"Revisiting arthritis prevalence projections: it's more than just an aging of the population","volume":"33","author":"Perruccio AV","year":"2006","journal-title":"J Rheumatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/art.21694"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_2","volume-title":"Arthritis in Canada: an ongoing challenge","author":"Lagace C","year":"2003"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_2","volume-title":"Arthritis in Canada: an ongoing challenge","author":"Ansari H","year":"2009"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_2","first-page":"515","article-title":"Socioeconomic risk factors and musculoskeletal disability","volume":"21","author":"Badley EM","year":"1994","journal-title":"J Rheumatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/art.1780340808"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0895-4356(91)90264-A"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_2","unstructured":"Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
