Osteoarthritis arthritis is the most prevalent form of arthritis and this is the result of wear and tear. Naturally the older you get the more likely you are to suffer from it. There are many forms of arthritis however which children also suffer from but in most cases they don't get major problems until they are older.

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.
