When it comes to fat, many people think of unhealthiness and some possible complications, but can you imagine that obesity is also one of the culprits of arthritis? Arthritis is not exclusive to the elderly. Because of the difficulty of the joints to withstand the pressure caused by obesity, it is easy to lead to wear and tear of the joints and form osteoarthritis. In China, the Tang dynasty was a time of rich beauty, but in modern times, people are more interested in a bony and slim beauty. However, even so, there are many love of sweets, do not love exercise they march to obesity. Chubby appearance also up lovely and secure. However, who knows the insecurity lurking inside the body? The human body is originally a complete and closely linked whole, when the body is too obese, the balance of bodily functions is broken, one of the manifestations is the increase of joint stress. In recent years, obesity has become one of the predisposing factors for osteoarthritis. Obesity is a pain that joints can’t afford! Osteoarthritis occurs in older women over the age of 45, because with age, the joints gradually degenerate, especially in the knee joint, repeated use can stimulate inflammatory changes in the cartilage, and old cartilage toughness is reduced, the weakening of the bearing force will also cause some damage. In addition, as women age, the estrogen in their joint cartilage slowly decreases, becoming an important cause of osteoarthritis. In fact, one factor that is easily overlooked in the development of arthritis is obesity. It is difficult to associate arthritis with obesity, believing that arthritis arises only from the aging of bones, or from frequent use over time. In fact, in people who are overly obese, their large body weight can easily increase the load on the joints, which directly results in changes in posture, gait and movement patterns. The internal compression lesion is the wear and tear of the joint structure and degeneration, in the long run, it will cause osteoarthritis. Therefore, arthritis in most obese patients occurs in the knee, spine and foot joints, which are the key joint parts supporting the body. Therefore, obese people should pay attention to the appropriate weight reduction, which can help reduce joint pain and prevent osteoarthritis caused by serious joint wear and tear in a timely manner. Osteoarthritis may be triggered by a variety of factors In addition to age, gender and obesity, osteoarthritis has many predisposing factors. The first is genetic, as evidenced by the numerous clinical conditions and the pattern of racial and hellish distribution of patients, osteoarthritis is genetic in nature. In addition, unlike the wear and tear of obesity, individuals who use their joints repeatedly for a long time due to work or sports can also cause wear and tear of joints, commonly seen in athletes, miners, etc. Therefore, we should pay attention to the combination of work and rest to reduce the pressure on the joints and keep them flexible. Again, this is caused by climatic and environmental factors, such as living in a humid and cold environment for many years. This of course includes one of the complications induced by other trauma and related diseases, such as osteoarthritis caused by fractures. Prevention of osteoarthritis should be early action For osteoarthritis, do not wait until you are old or in real pain to pay attention to it. In daily life, we should pay more attention to joint health and be sensitive to the presence of symptoms of joint pain, such as pain during exercise, or when climbing stairs. Second, strengthen the annual health examination. In fact, many diseases can be detected in the physical examination, the key is to have regular annual health examination, preferably once a year. Third, it is important to pay attention to the combination of work and rest. People are not machines that can operate repeatedly for a long time, especially people with related occupations should pay more attention because joint strain is one of the important factors in the onset of osteoarthritis.
