What’s wrong with bone and joint pain in the knee_Why are women over 50 years old prone to knee pain? The old man’s legs fail him first, saying that as people age, their legs and feet become more and more inconvenient and leg problems gradually increase. The knee is one of the most obvious areas of performance. Most of the older people feel often back pain, is the knee is not as good as before, a little activity activities are easy to produce knee pain problems. The majority of these people, especially women over 50. Once women reach the age of 50, aging slowly manifests itself, and knee pain is one of the manifestations. Why are women over 50 prone to knee pain? The first is that women, unlike men, generally face the onset of menopause at the age of 50 or so. During this period, the level of various hormones in the female body decreases significantly and the endocrine disorder occurs. This will accelerate the loss of calcium in the body, resulting in osteoporosis and aging of the bone and joint areas. The knee is the largest bone joint in the human body and is used most frequently, showing the strongest decline and pain. The reason why women age earlier than men is because of the special physiology of women, and the hormonal decline is also earlier than men. In addition, women’s physiology is slightly different from that of men, and the structure of the knee joint is slightly different from that of men, making it less stable. This, combined with wearing high heels for a long time when they are young, increases the wear and tear on the bones and joints, leading to earlier knee pain. In addition to work, women are also responsible for a lot of household chores, which are mostly repetitive physical work, bending over, bending the knee and other actions that can cause wear and tear on the knee over time. How to do about bone and joint pain in the knee joint? 1, reduce weight The knee is the main weight-bearing joint of the body, the more weight, the greater the pressure on the knee joint, the faster the wear and tear. Knee osteoarthritis due to weight has taken up a large proportion of the patient population in recent years. 2, try not to wear high heels High heels allow the body’s center of gravity to lean forward, in order to maintain a stable center of gravity, the local pressure on the knee joint increases, which can easily lead to knee ligament laxity and cartilage wear. It is recommended that women should wear more flat-heeled soft-soled shoes to absorb shock and balance the load on the knee joint. 3, reduce frequent ascents and long brisk walks Modern people like to choose hiking, stair climbing, brisk walking to fitness, but if excessive, can also bring negative effects, resulting in accelerated cartilage wear of the knee joint, accelerating the occurrence of arthritis. Many young patients are doing premature osteoarthritis after frequent climbing and stair climbing. Walking exercise body simple and effective, it is recommended that no more than 100 steps per minute and exercise time of no more than 1 hour to protect the joints. Do a full warm-up before exercise. 4, take vitamins A, C, E and supplement D The rate of knee arthritis in women far exceeds that of men, especially after menopause due to a large decline in estrogen in the body, the cartilage becomes thin and brittle and does not resist wear and tear. For women: more sunshine, more milk, vitamins A, C, E and vitamin D have a good preventive effect on osteoarthritis.
