Osteoarthritis which is a degenerative joint disease, (wear and tear, joint trauma etc) is relatively unusual in people under 45, however before that age it will occur more frequently in men.

The exact cause fro Arthritis is still not known, However the fact that men tend to have a problem with this disease at an earlier age may lay in the fact that their life styles sporting activity's and work practices often tend to put more strain on joints.
