(Health-NewsWire.Net, September 23, 2015 ) Orlando, Florida -- The number of people who are suffering from arthritis conditions such as osteoarthritis is continually increasing. Painful and debilitating conditions, such as osteoarthritis, can negatively affect the quality of life of sufferers. Experts stress the importance of being knowledgeable about the condition, and of learning about its risk factors.
Possible causes of osteoarthritis are finally revealed. Osteoarthritis is believed to be due to the wear and tear in the joints that usually takes place as a person ages. Individuals who are engaged in intense physical activities are also more likely to suffer from the condition.
According to experts, osteoarthritis has several subtypes, and each of them has biochemical processes and risk factors. Learning about the potential causes of osteoarthritis is believed to be helpful for researchers as it allows them to find some excellent measures to prevent and treat the condition. Researchers also opined that it can be helpful to divide osteoarthritis into subtypes for identifying the ideal treatment.
The Arthritis Foundation has featured a research study that aimed at understanding the osteoarthritis subtypes such as the phenotypes. There are three genes associated with the development of the condition. Researchers are still looking for some other genes that are potentially associated with the condition.
According to John Loughlin, PhD, professor of musculoskeletal research from the Newcastle University Musculoskeletal Research Group, osteoarthritis' genetic susceptibility is complex. There is a possibility that every gene functions in such a way that it contributes to the occurrence or increase of that susceptibility.
Dr. Loughlin also added that people are predisposed to a myriad of diseases mainly because of the human genes, but there have not been any major impact genes identified yet for osteoarthritis. Loughin is the secretary general of the Osteoarthritis Research Society International, which is an organization comprised of scientists and healthcare professionals. The organization aims at determining the preventive measures and treatment as well as providing education about osteoarthritis.
There are several risk factors associated with the development of osteoarthritis, in addition to aging. These risk factors are obesity and injury. Individuals who suffer from traumatic injury are more likely to develop osteoarthritis in the future.
Today, the prevalence of osteoarthritis is still increasing. The good news is that more and more people are finding the remedies that work for them. There are osteoarthritis sufferers who avoid using pain relief drugs due to the side effects associated with their use. There are many who resort to glucosamine supplements to achieve pain relief and improve their mobility (amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Chondroitin-Supplement-Turmeric/dp/B00DUMO9X4).
