Answer 2

Osteoarthritis is termed as hereditary disease

While the weakness that some have in regards to Osteoarthritis is not fully understood there often seems to be a link to family history. Therefore Osteoarthritis is termed as a hereditary disease. Body structures are passed down from parents. The way joints fit into one and other as well as the architecture of the rest of the body. this is why an osteoarthritis condition in the family history may involve an increased risk of an osteoarthritis condition in you. At times weaknesses in cartilage cushions not working properly can be seen from an early age. and bones do not work properly. However normally problems do not arise until later in life. Due to such conditions, osteoarthritis is treated as hereditary disease.

Osteoarthritis is caused by wear and tear of the hyaline cartilage inside synovial joints of the body. It is not necesarily hereditary, though some families seem to have a history of being more susceptible to it than others.

Osteoarthritis (Osteoarthrosis) is caused by a non-inflammatory repairing process of eroded cartilage tissue over a joint, mostly weight bearing one or following a trauma. As a result, osteophytes appear and cause pain by irritating the surrounding ligaments and tissues containing the nerve endings.

Osteoarthrosis occurs more in overweight, elderly and athletes. It can occur in any joint that is over stressed, walking too much for instance is one example if the shoes are improperly fit and the surface is hard, like concrete. Actually, walking is one of the best exercises that a person can do. The usual recommendation is 20 minutes 3x per week. What is hardest on the joints (knees) is jogging, and dynamic exercises that involve jumping, like aerobics.
