The problem you are faced with is that there are over a hundred different forms of arthritis. The bigest one being osteoarthritis which is often associated with the results of wear and tear or trauma. this is non inflammatory arthritis then you have inflamatory forms of Arthritis like rheumatoid arthritis which is an autoimmune disease, a different disease altogether, there is also gouty arthritis which happens when there is exes uric acid in the blood and the list goes on and on. You will have to find out what the average is for every different form of arthritis. The one advantage in your favor is that arthritis of every kind is evenly distributed throughout the world with Usualy little difference between nationalitys.
