What reason is osteoarthritis

The first reason is age factor: with the growth of age, degenerative changes of articular cartilage often occur from middle age to old age, and years of accumulated strain is an important factor. In the elderly, the content of mucopolysaccharide in cartilage matrix decreases, the matrix loses chondroitin sulfate, the fiber component increases, and the toughness of cartilage decreases, so they are prone to mechanical injury and produce degenerative changes.

The second reason is the gender factor: the incidence of this disease in women is much higher than that in men, and women who are generally preparing for amenorrhea or after amenorrhea are the most common.

Third, genetic factors: terminal interphalangeal joint osteoarthritis, Heberden nodules, aunts and sisters in the family will also get this disease.
