July is Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month.
Juvenile arthritis (JA) refers to any form of arthritis or arthritis-related
condition that develops in children or teenagers who are less than 18 years of age.
Approximately 294,000 children under the age of 18 are affected by pediatric arthritis and
rheumatologic conditions.
The Arthritis Foundation helps people take control of arthritis by providing public
health education; pursuing public policy and legislation; and conducting evidence-based
programs to improve the quality of life for those living with arthritis.
