Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative disorder characterized by cartilage loss. Its prevalence is high, and it is a major cause of disability. The cause of OA is not known; however, current evidence indicates that it is multifactorial. Major risk factors for osteoarthritis are age, female sex, obesity, geographic factors, occupational knee ...

The pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA) appears to be the result of a complex interplay between mechanical, cellular and biochemical forces. Obesity is the strongest risk factor for disease onset in the knee, and mechanical factors dominate the risk for disease progression. OA is a highly prevalent and disabling disease.

There are few studies on the prevalence, pattern or clinical course of osteoarthritis (OA) in the tropics. The studies that have been carried out, however, indicate that on the whole there is a lower prevalence of OA than found in Western countries. In addition, the pattern of joint involvement may be different with less common involvement of the hip ...

In summary, the relationship between risk factors and OA may differ across joints. For knees, obesity and knee injury either due to acute events or to repetitive impact loading may be the most important preventable causes of disease. Hand OA is probably also caused by repetitive use, but its association with other risk factors is unknown.
