Description: |
|
The top five most commonly treated conditions among adults ages 40-64 in 2009 included hypertension (high blood pressure), hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol), osteoarthritis, mental disorders, and asthma.
Of the 101.3 million civilian noninstitutionalized adults ages 40-64 in the U.S., more than half were treated for at least one of these conditions in 2009. These five conditions accounted for almost a quarter of this age group's total medical expenditures. |
