Arthritis in older people is usually due to wear and tear on the joints over time. As people age, the cartilage that cushions the joints starts to break down, leading to pain, inflammation, and decreased flexibility. Genetics, previous injuries, and lifestyle factors can also contribute to the development of arthritis in older individuals.
