U.S Dept. of Health and Human Services wrote:: Not getting enough physical activity is a problem for many of us – and, a study finds, especially for obese people with arthritis. Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention saw the effect of arthritis in data from national health surveys in 2007 and 2009.
