Adults with joint pain in the past 30 days by age 2010

Respondents were asked, "During the past 30 days, have you had any symptoms of pain, aching, or stiffness in or around a joint?" Respondents were instructed to not include the back or neck because other questions focused on those areas. To facilitate their response, respondents were shown a card illustrating the body joints. Estimates are age-adjusted to the year 2000 standard population using five age groups: 18-44 years, 45-54 years, 55-64 years, 65-74 years, and 75 years and over.
