Objectives<\/strong> — Accurate data on the burden of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are scarce, but critical in helping healthcare providers and decision makers to optimize clinical and public health strategies for disease management.

Methods<\/strong> — The researchers used the Ontario Rheumatoid Arthritis administrative Database (ORAD), a validated population-based cohort of all Ontarians with RA, to estimate the crude prevalence and incidence of RA among men and women, and by age group from 1996 to 2010.

Results<\/strong> — The number of RA patients increased over time, from 42,734 Ontarians (0.5%) in 1996 to 97,499 (0.9%) in 2010. On average 5,830 new RA patients were diagnosed each year. In 2010, the burden was higher among females (1.3%) than males (0.5%) and increased with age, with almost half of all RA patients aged 65 years and older.
