Arthritis & Joints

Osteoarthritis is a condition that begins with the breakdown of cartilage in joints, resulting in joint pain and stiffness. It is the most common form of arthritis in the United States, affecting more than 20 million Americans. Healthy joints need healthy cartilage, a substance made of water and collagen that covers and cushions bones, creating a firm, slippery coating within the joint for flexibility and easy movement. Cartilage can, and does, break down with age.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) involves inflammation of the lining of many different joints in your body. In some people, RA can also affect other parts of the body, includinq the blood, the lungs, and the heart. The affected joint may also lose its shape, resulting in loss of normal movement. RA affects about 2.1 million Americans, or about 1% of the adult population in the United States. This disease is two to three times more common in women than in men, and generally affects people between the ages of 20 and 50. However, young children can develop a form of RA called juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.
