6. Osteoarthritis is a disease of the
cartilage. It affects joints, mostly in
weight bearing areas. When the
cartilage begins to wear away,
patients develop pain, swelling,
and stiffness. Eventually, if it’s left
untreated, it results in a lack of
function. About 70 percent of
adults between ages 55 and 80
suffer from it. Studies show that
excessive weight is an aggravating
factor, particularly for the knees
and lower back. Inactivity also
worsens osteoarthritis.
