The Johnston County Health Study is a long-term research study based in Johnston County, North Carolina. The purpose of the study is to measure how common osteoarthritis, pain, and disability are in the county, as well as its impact on individuals and the community. This is important because arthritis affects over 54 million adults in the United States and frequently occurs with other health conditions, like diabetes and heart disease. In our study, we are examining how osteoarthritis is related to other health conditions, such as injury, obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. We also want to know how osteoarthritis and other health conditions differ by gender and race/ethnicity.
Thank you for your interest, but this study is not currently enrolling.
