So much pain! :(

Osteoarthritis is a type of arthritis that is caused by the breakdown and eventual loss of the cartilage of one or more joints. Cartilage is a protein substance that serves as a "cushion" between the bones of the joints. Osteoarthritis is also known as degenerative arthritis. Among the over 100 different types of arthritis conditions, osteoarthritis is the most common.

Osteoarthritis occurs more frequently as we age.
Before age 45, osteoarthritis occurs more frequently in males.
After age 55 years, it occurs more frequently in females.

All races appear equally affected. A higher incidence of osteoarthritis exists in the Japanese population, while South African blacks, East Indians and Southern Chinese have lower rates.

that's all i can remember (i'm so sorry if i am a bit off details). i'll see if i could share another facts (off course i have to read first), hahahaaa...

hmm...how can exercise prevent osteoporosis? Muscle pulling on bone builds bone, so weight-bearing exercise builds denser, stronger bones. The more bone mass you build, the better off you will be during the years of gradual bone loss. Exercise can also help you maintain bone density later in life.

The best exercises for building bone are weight- or load-bearing exercises. These include weight-lifting, jogging, hiking, stair-climbing, step aerobics, dancing, racquet sports, and other activities that require your muscles to work against gravity.

helpin enough?

Weight bearing exercises and a good diet can help strengthen bones. menopausal women should eat plenty of soya as it's rich in Estrogen - the hormone that helps maintain bone density.

Smoking cigarettes decreases estrogen levels and can lead to bone loss in women before menopause. Calcium supplements plus vitamin D (to help absorb calcium) are beneficial for healthy bones. But only if there is a deficiency. For people with some types of kidney disease, too much calcium can cause problems. So best to ask doctor before taking it.
