16. 16 Definitions of Cost Direct Costs = Health care costs for treatment of disease. Indirect Costs = Impact of disease in terms of lost wages due to disability or death. Aggregate Total Costs = Total medical costs for musculoskeletal diseases and other comorbid conditions of persons with musculoskeletal conditions. Incremental Costs = Share of costs directly attributable to musculoskeletal disease.

Estimates of Funding for Various Research, Condition, and Disease Categories. http://report/nih.gov/categorical_spending.aspx Accessed December 17, 2013. $7.8 billion = Total research funding for years 2009 to 2013.  Less than 2% of annual National Institutes of Health (NIH) research budget allocated to NIAMS  Annual average share of funding declining since 2000  In spite of prevalence and high morbidity, musculoskeletal diseases research dollars a fraction of allocations for other common conditions *National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases United States Bone and Joint Initiative, the U.S. National Action Network of the Global Alliance for Musculoskeletal Health

22. 22 Research Funding by Type of MSK Disease  50% to trauma/injuries  26% to arthritis/AORC  12% to osteoporosis  11% to all other and rare musculoskeletal diseases United States Bone and Joint Initiative, the U.S. National Action Network of the Global Alliance for Musculoskeletal Health

23. 23 Key Challenges to Future  Medical costs rapidly increasing for persons age 45 to 64.  Total medical costs rose 40% between 1996-1998 and 2009-2011.  Incremental costs attributed to musculoskeletal diseases rose 67% between 1996-1999 and 2009-2011.  Persistence of chronic musculoskeletal diseases that begin in middle years 45 to 64 throughout lifetime.  Aging population.  Lack of research funding for treatment and prevention of painful and debilitating musculoskeletal diseases.
