Act Now: Musculoskeletal Health Inequalities and Depravation Report

The Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Alliance launched an enquiry into musculoskeletal health inequalities – it was the first of its kind nationally.  
(Musculoskeletal conditions broadly means that which affects bone, muscles and joints).

According to ARMA, musculoskeletal conditions linked to deprivation or age, are more prevalent in women, and disproportionately affect some ethnic groups. The inquiry took a deep dive into this to highlight the issues and hopefully create recommendations for improvement.

As of March 2024, the report was published; setting out the evidence for inequalities in MSK health alongside potential solutions and possible reasons.  

Where can I access the report?

You can read the full report at the ARMA website as well as a summary of the report for a more bitesize look at the findings.

We are proud to be a member of the ARMA and are excited to promote this groundbreaking report.
