<span lang=“EN-US” style=“mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: “Times New Roman”; mso-bidi-font-family: “Times New Roman”; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;”>I am a
researcher at the University of Saskatchewan studying people with arthritis.
I’m particularly interested in why people with arthritis are exercising or are
not exercising. You do not have to be exercising currently to take the survey,
and want to stress that all types of arthritis are welcome. We look at all
types based on Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommendations that exercise
is beneficial regardless of type of disease. Still, we do understand that RA
and OA are different diseases.<o:p></o:p>

you need to have been told by a health care professional (like a doctor) that
you have arthritis, live in Canada or the United States, and you must be at
least 18 years of age. If this describes you then please follow this link to
the official recruitment poster for more information. <o:p></o:p>
