Normally, joint cartilage is continuously regenerated to keep movement smooth. However, after the age of 30, regeneration slows down while degeneration accelerates. Osteoarthritis is the result of an imbalance between the regeneration and the wear-and-tear of cartilage and the subchondral bone. The following factors can make this process happen earlier and become more severe:
- Age: After 40, the risk of osteoarthritis increases significantly. The older you are, the more vulnerable your cartilage becomes.
- Obesity: Excess body weight puts heavy pressure on the joints, especially the knees.
- Joint overuse & strain: Heavy lifting, frequent stair climbing, and overworking the joints speed up cartilage wear.
- Congenital joint abnormalities: Abnormal joint structures from a young age can lead to earlier and more severe degeneration.
- Genetic factors: Some joint conditions are linked to hereditary genes.
- Joint injuries: A key reason why even younger people can develop osteoarthritis.
