Causes Of Arthritis
Shaping the grounds of arthritis can be hard, often several factors contribute to an individual developing this common problem.
The risk factors causing arthritis include:
• GeneticsWe have observed that how much heredity or genetics contributes to the cause of arthritis is not well understood. However, there are likely genetic variations that can contribute to the cause of arthritis.
• AgeAs people grow older they are more likely to develop arthritis. Cartilage becomes more brittle with age and has less of a capacity to repair itself.
• Over-WeightThe joint has to support, excess body weight can lead to arthritis Because joint damage is partly reliant on the load. In heavier patients this is seen especially the hips and knees that can be worn out rapidly.
• Previous InjuryIn the usual smooth joint surface joint damage can be the reason irregularities. Earlier major injuries can be part of the cause of arthritis. Tibial plateau fracture is an example of an injury leading to arthritis is a, where the broken area of bone enters the cartilage of the knee joint.

 


• Some Occupational HazardsA higher threat of rising arthritis than other jobs workers in some exact occupations seem to have these are primarily high demand jobs such as assembly line workers and heavy construction.
• Some High-Level SportsContribution to development of arthritis is hard to determine how much sports participation. Certainly, sports participation can lead to joint injury and subsequent arthritis. However, the benefits of activity likely outweigh any risk of arthritis.
