Select a Book About Arthritis
Arthritis is a common disorder with an estimated 40 million Americans and 80 percent of persons over 75 years old affected by osteoarthritis. Although symptoms of osteoarthritis occur earlier in women, the prevalence among men and women is about the same. Risk factors, besides age, include joint injury, obesity, and mechanical stress. The physiology involves a combination of mechanical, cellular, and biochemical processes. The interaction of these processes leads to changes in the composition and mechanical properties of articular cartilage. Cartilage is composed of water, collagen, and proteoglycans. Healthy cartilage, continually repairs itself as the chondrocytes replace macromolecules lost through degradation. This process becomes disrupted in osteoarthritis, leading to increased degenerative changes and an abnormal repair response. The most commonly used dietary supplements for osteoarthritis are glucosamine and chondroitin. More Comparison Shopping for Arthritis Care
