Arthritis Research - Hurumanu 2

What are the causes of arthritis?

This can be caused by the low immune system. If you don't have a fit and healthy body or you are not doing exercise. It is happening because of an infection called “reactive arthritis” that causes the tissue in your body to attack your own joints. 

Can everyone get arthritis?

Yes, everyone can get this disease and we can all get it with a different age. If we are young or old it doesn’t matter at all because we call this anytime and any age. 


Who is most likely to get arthritis?

Based on my research it is said that you are most likely to have arthritis when you're getting older and you don’t have time to get exercises or have some stretches.  


What are the two most common types?

The two most common types of this are Rheumatoid and Osteoarthritis.

  • Rheumatoid arthritis is a type of arthritis that causes inflammation, pain, and swelling into the joints. Most people that can get this type of arthritis are those people that are 25 - 50 years old. Based on my research it says that there are more cases of women that have this compared to men. 

  • Osteoarthritis is happening if the cartilage that protects the edge of the bones wears down over time. This arthritic disease is affecting millions of people worldwide. 


What are ways to prevent arthritis?

  • Spend some time doing exercise or stretches.

  • Stop smoking and avoid injuries.

  • Stay healthy and control your body sugar.

  • Eat a lot of vegetables or any healthy food. It is good to at least eat fish twice a week.


How is it treated?

Most of the doctors that help to treat your arthritis will give some medicine like painkillers or anti inflammatory. This way is also the most effective way to treat arthritis. This disease can’t be treated permanently but there are ways to manage it.
