World Arthritis Day puts the everyday experiences of people with arthritis in the spotlight. It encourages understanding of joint pain and limited mobility, alongside better access to care and support from family and friends.
How it is celebrated: patient groups and health professionals hold awareness events, answer questions and share personal stories. Discussions often explore how arthritis affects work, movement and ordinary tasks at home.
Arthritis is not limited to older adults: children can develop inflammatory joint conditions too.
