What groups are susceptible to arthritis?

Arthritis is prone to the following groups of people: 1. middle-aged and elderly: a high incidence of arthritis; 2. athletes: due to long-term high-intensity wear and tear on joint cartilage, degenerative changes in the joints, osteophytes, thus causing arthritis; 3. obesity: obesity can increase the load on the joints, especially weight-bearing joints, such as the knee, hip, etc., making joint wear and degeneration worse, thus causing arthritis; 4. others: patients with inflammatory joint diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and gouty arthritis.
