About 1 in 1000: short answer

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common type of arthritis in children. It is a chronic disease. This means it will probably last a long time. About 1 in 1,000 children have JIA. The number of new cases per year is estimated at 9 per 100,000 population. These numbers tell us that about 40-50 children in the Cincinnati Tri-state area will be diagnosed with JIA each year: longer answer

It’s almost impossible to give a ratio or a number for the whole world. Many countries don’t report or record this data and many children do not have access to health care and many aren’t diagnosed.

Rheumatology.org says- “About 1 child in every 1,000 develops some type of juvenile arthritis. These disorders can affect children at any age, although rarely in the first six months of life. It is estimated that around 300,000 children in the US have been diagnosed with JIA.”
