The National Center for Health Statistics estimates that 15.8 million Americans have signs and symptoms of OA. The true extent of the disease is much larger nearly everyone has radiographic evidence of OA by the eighth decade of life, but individuals without symptoms often go undiagnosed. Approximately 6% of United States adults have daily symptomatic knee OA, and 3% report daily symptoms affecting the hip.2 After age 60, 10% to 15% of persons report such symptoms.

Daumit et al. (2003) conducted a series of cross-sectional analyses of outpatient physician visits from 1992-2000 where antipsychotics were prescribed. The data was collected from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics. African Americans had half the odds of receiving an SGA and Hispanics had 40% of the odds, compared with Whites in the early 1990s. During 1998-2000, the frequency of SGA use for non-psychotic disorders in African Americans was equivalent to Whites but still 25% lower when patients were receiving treatment for a psychotic disorder. The use of SGAs in Hispanics increased and was equal to that of Whites in the late 1990s for all psychiatric diagnoses.

This concern about stigmatization is, at its heart, an odd one. Public health statistics on varying levels of disease exist, both for nations and, in some cases, for ethnic groups within nations. Those statistics already show that some groups have higher rates of certain diseases than other groups do—but lower rates of other diseases. Even if observers focus only on the diseases with increased incidence, genetic research into the precise alleles responsible for the disease should not add information about the relative...

The Division of Health Interview Statistics, National Center for Health Statistics, CDC conducted a survey entitled Utilization of Complementary and Alternative Medicine by United States Adults in 1999. The survey attempted to obtain a representative sample of minorities and also patients without telephones. This is important because these demographic groups tend to report lower utilization of botanicals products than Caucasians and those of higher socioeconomic status. The CDC found that 9.6% of the population took botanical medicines. Hispanics reported the lowest use of CAM followed by African-Americans, and then Caucasians 19.9%, 24.1%, and 30.8%i, respectively. The western part of the United States reported the highest use of CAM (15). 

The popularity of botanical products in the United States is reflected in a survey on complementary and alternative medicine that showed that American consumers had spent an estimated 5.1 billion on botanical products in 1997 (1). In the same year, the global market for botanical medicinal products was estimated to be approximately 20 billion (2,3). It has been estimated that currently more than 1500 botanical products are available in the U.S. market alone (4). This popularity has been fueled, in part, by the perception that botanicals are naturally derived products, and hence are safe and devoid of adverse effects. This perception appeared to be justified by a paper summarizing the fatality of pharmaceutical drugs and botanical products in the 1981-1993 period, in which statistics compiled by the National Center for Health Statistics, the American Association of Poison Control Centers, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Journal of the American Medical Association, and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission showed an annual mortality rate of 100,000 deaths...

Dairy foods such as whole milk and cheese have been incriminated as contributing to the development of this condition (Jones 1973). However, there is no evidence that any specific food, food component, or combination of foods, when consumed in recommended amounts, leads to obesity per se (American Academy of Pediatrics 1974).
