(OA) Osteoarthritis is derived from the Greek word

Itis= inflammation

Osteoarthritis is known as degenerative joint disease.

It occurs when the cushiony cartilage between two bones becomes worn down, and the bones begin to rub against each other in the joint.

This often leads to pain, swelling, decrease in motion at the joint, stiffness, and formation of bone spurs.

Osteoarthritis can occur in almost any joint, but osteoarthritis of the knee, hip, spine, and hands are the most common types.

Osteoarthritis affects around 30% of individuals aged 45-65 years.

More than 80% of individuals are affected by their eighth decade of life

An equal number of men and women aged 45-55 years suffer from the condition.

After age 55, women are more affected than men.
