How is old person whole body ache to return a responsibility?

summary

As the saying goes, "the old legs grow old first, and the old legs are in the joints". In our life, we need to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and there are no grains. The elderly have more or less symptoms of joint pain. Many people simply think that this is "rheumatism". In fact, the vast majority of joint pain is caused by osteoarthritis. So let's find out what's going on with the old man's pain??

How is old person whole body ache to return a responsibility?

The first reason: age survey shows that the prevalence rate of this disease is 10% ~ 17% in 40 years old people, 50% in 60 years old people and 80% in 75 years old people. It can be seen that the number of patients with osteoarthritis is increasing with age, and old age is the most direct risk factor for osteoarthritis, which is related to the natural joint degeneration with age. With the aging of human body, the proliferation and synthesis ability of articular chondrocytes decrease, which makes it difficult to maintain the balance between anabolism and catabolism of cartilage tissue, leading to the degradation and loss of articular cartilage and osteoarthritis.

Reason two: the incidence rate of osteoarthritis in gender women is significantly higher than that in men, especially in postmenopausal women. Many studies suggest that this may be related to the decrease of estrogen level in postmenopausal women. Estrogen may have a certain protective effect on osteoarthritis, which needs to be confirmed by further evidence-based research. Estrogen supplementation is also expected to become one of the treatment methods for osteoarthritis.

The third reason: hereditary osteoarthritis is hereditary in the family, and it is very common for multiple members of the family to have the disease at the same time. This may be related to the abnormal cartilage metabolism caused by a genetic defect.

matters needing attention

The progress of osteoarthritis is irreversible. The main purpose of treatment is to relieve symptoms and delay the progress of the disease. For patients with symptomatic osteoarthritis, drugs are still the main treatment.
