BMUS: THE BURDEN OF MUSCULOSKELETAL DISEASES IN THE UNITED STATES


PREVALENCE, SOCIETAL AND ECONOMIC COST


FRONT PAGE PROMO SLIDESHOW

 * 
   NEARLY 364 MILLION WORK DAYS LOST DUE TO MUSCULOSKELETAL CONDITIONS, AN
   AVERAGE 10 DAYS PER WORKER - MORE THAN ANY OTHER MAJOR HEALTH CONDITION - IN
   2015.

 * 
   Musculoskeletal diseases cost $980 billion dollars in 2014, 5.76% of the
   annual GDP.

 * 
   In any given year, 12% to 14% of the adult population will visit their
   physician for back pain.

 * 
   Musculoskeletal diseases account for more than 50% of disabling health
   conditions reported by adults.

 * 
   MORE THAN 1 IN 2 AMERICAN ADULTS, 124 MILLION AGE 18 AND OVER, REPORTED
   SUFFERING A MUSCULOSKELETAL DISEASE IN 2015.

 * 
   Musculoskeletal diseases were diagnosed in 19% of the 1.2 billion health care
   visits in 2013.


MUSCULOSKELETAL DISEASES

And the Burden They Cause in the United States

Musculoskeletal diseases affect more than one out of every two persons in the
United States age 18 and over, and nearly three out of four age 65 and over.
Trauma, back pain, and arthritis are the three most common musculoskeletal
conditions reported, and for which health care visits to physicians’ offices,
emergency departments, and hospitals occur each year. The rate of
musculoskeletal diseases far outstrips that of circulatory diseases and
respiratory diseases, which affect about one in three persons, with the majority
reporting relatively easily treatable conditions such as chronic hypertension or
hay fever and bronchitis.

The cost of treating major musculoskeletal diseases, which often includes
long-term pain and disability, is also greater than for treatment of many other
common health conditions. Yet research dollars to identify causes, create new
treatments, and reduce pain and disability remain much lower than that of other
health conditions.

With the aging of the US population, musculoskeletal diseases are becoming a
greater burden every year. The pages of this site illustrate the magnitude of
musculoskeletal diseases on the US population, and provide a small slice of the
cost and impact on the US economy.
