# World Arthritis Day - 12 October.
On October 12th of each year, World Arthritis Day spreads awareness about the most prevalent disease in the world. This awareness day highlights the need for early diagnosis and treatment.
More than 50 million adults and 300,000 children in the United States have arthritis. By the year 2040, an estimated 78 million people in the U.S. will have arthritis. About 120 million people in the European Union live with arthritis. A total of 350 million people throughout the world have the disease. Arthritis and related conditions account for more than $156 billion in lost wages and medical expenses each year. The disease also results in one million hospitalizations a year.
In 1996, Arthritis and Rheumatism International established World Arthritis Day. The European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) promotes the day. Through the years, many other organizations around the world have united to spread awareness for arthritis and other rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs).
These organizations include the Arthritis National Research Foundation, the National Organization of Rheumatology Managers (NORM), the Arthritis Foundation, and the Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Alliance (ARMA).
