Abstract

The scope of this research project allows for the investigation of osteoarthritis risk factors on an individual as well as a joint level. Osteoarthritis is affecting a growing number of people all over the world, and this condition has a substantial negative impact on the quality of life that these individuals lead. The initiation or development of osteoarthritis in people is associated to many factors, including ageing, gender, socioeconomic status, family history, and obesity, among others. Injury and the stresses placed on joints in the workplace both have a role in the progression of osteoarthritis. Regular physical exercise of a moderate intensity does not seem to raise the risk of osteoarthritis. According to more recent or expanding studies, the early stages of osteoarthritis may be brought on by structural damage, vitamin deficiencies, and differences in the length of the limbs. It is likely that we may not know all there is to know regarding the beginning and progression of osteoarthritis. This is a possibility. The good news is that the chances of developing osteoarthritis due to joint injuries and obesity may be mitigated, and in some cases completely eliminated.
