I found this statement on a Heath and Fitness website: About 35 years ago, researchers discovered that Eskimos eating their traditional marine diet were virtually free of heart disease compared to other nationalities. Eskimos also had lower levels of rheumatoid arthritis, and myocardial infarctions (heart attacks) were near absent. It was also interesting to note that Eskimos ate a predominantly high-fat diet, consisting of blubber and seal meat. Researchers eventually came to realise that the high level of polyunsaturated fats in the Eskimo diets, particularly omega-3 fatty acids, were responsible for this cardioprotective effect.
So they do still get arthritis but at a lower level than say United Kingdom

Not usually, if they stick to their usual diet, but once they start eating the 'western world' diet they not only get all the 'general' conditions like arthritis and heart disease but, possibly due to their ancestry, they also get fat really quickly!
Possibly because they have never had to deal with an over abundance of calories before!

It would be very unusual for them to get arthritis as they follow such a good diet
