Abstract
Introduction. Arthritis has increased systematic repercussions either by extra-articular manifestations or due to limited activities. Methods. In this study, we used the 2020 and 2021 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), a large, nationally representative, cross-sectional telephone survey. The data was divided into the participants having arthritis and no arthritis. Results represented as an odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). We used a multivariate-adjusted logistic regression model to analyze the results. Fisher’s t-test was used to compare between 2 groups. P-value < 0.05 was considered significant. Results. BRFSS survey results led to 835,452 participants included in the final analysis. Of the included participant, 267020 has arthritis, and 568432 do not. In the arthritis group, 38.7% were males, and 61.3% were females. We found that patients with arthritis have a higher prevalence of diabetes and stroke. Adjusted logistic regression analysis showed that patients with arthritis have higher odds of reporting ischemic heart disease (IHD) (OR = 1.05, 95% CI 1.05-1.05, p-value < 0.001). Also, poor health status (mental, general, and physical) patients are more likely to report IHD. Conclusion. Patients with arthritis are more likely to report IHD, which further increases in patients with poor health status.
