OA often affects middle-aged and older people. Men under the age of
55 are more likely to be afflicted compared to women of the same age
group. However, beyond the age of 55, women are the more commonly
affected. Overall, there are more women with OA compared to men because
it is believed that the broader female hip places continuing stress on
the knees, which may lead to the development of OA.
Risk Factors
Despite being one of
the oldest forms of arthritis, the cause for OA is still not completely
known. However, several risk factors that may lead to OA have been
identified. These factors include:
Age
An important risk factor,
as wear and tear plays a significant part in the development of OA. In
short, the incidences of OA increase with age and with more use of the
joints.
Obesity
Next to age, body weight
is another crucial factor in developing OA. This is especially so for
the knees, as they are the joints that carry the brunt of the body
weight. According to the Arthritis Foundation, for every pound of weight
you gain, you are in fact adding 3 pounds of pressure on your knees and
6 times the pressure on your hips.
Genetics
Genetics is fast becoming a prevalent
factor in OA development, especially in the hands. For instance, a
person may have inherited a defect in the genes responsible for making
cartilage. Also, those born with joint abnormalities, for example
scoliosis of the spine, are more likely to develop OA in that particular
part as well.
Injury or Overusing Joints
Injuries, be it from sport
or daily activity, also contribute to the occurrence of OA. Athletes
who have experienced knee related injuries may be at higher risk of
having OA. Similarly, the stress placed on certain joints from daily
repetitive motions, for example, from typing or operating machinery, may
lead to the development of OA later in life.
Muscle Weakness
According to the Arthritis
Foundation, studies have shown that the weakening of muscles in and
around the knee area can be a precursor to OA. At the same time, these
studies also revealed that strengthening the thigh muscle can help to
reduce the risk of OA.
Other Diseases
Other than the above
factors, the presence of other diseases or conditions also contribute
directly to the development of OA. For example, people with rheumatoid
arthritis are more prone to having OA. Similarly, those with conditions
such as hemachromotosis or too much iron can experience chronic
cartilage deterioration that may lead to OA.
