Osteoarthritis and Obesity


By roger jakson at 2010-12-17 03:40:40
Osteoarthritis is the most common joint disorder and while it is still unclear how being overweight influences this condition, studies show that excess weight is an established risk factor for osteoarthritis of the knee, causing a 3-4 fold increased risk of primary joint replacement. It is estimated that about 56% of obese people suffer from major knee pain, in comparison to 15% of people who are not overweight.Most people over the age of 60 have some degree of osteoarthritis, but the severity of the condition varies greatly. Rheumatoid arthritis can develop at any age, but there may be periods of remission when no symptoms are felt.Osteoarthritis can be commonly found in people around the age group of 60. The intensity of pain and degree of the problem varies according to their lifestyle. Rheumatoid arthritis might develop at any age, although during remission period, there might be a complete lack of symptoms of pain.

The other common form of Arthritis is called Rheumatoid Arthritis. Unlike Osteoarthritis, RA is an inflammatory response that is chronic. Joints are similarly affected as in Osteoarthritis, however, the membrane that lines the joints are what become inflamed instead. Small joint areas such as the hands and feet are affected most commonly. Unlike Osteoarthritis, this form of Arthritis is an autoimmune disorder. The body's immune system actually attacks normal tissue in the body.Otherwise known as the "wear and tear arthritis" OA is thought to affect an estimated 8.5 million people in the UK. Most commonly, osteoarthritis develops over the age of 50 and is more common in women. Osteoarthritis is more common if there has been some kind of injury to one of the joints.

Symptoms of Osteoarthritis include: joint aching and soreness, pain after overuse, bony enlargements of smaller joints such as fingers, and joint fluid and swelling. Heredity, obesity, and injuries are some of the factors that contribute to Osteoarthritis. There are several treatment options such as oral medications and hot and cold compresses. Worse cases may be treated by physical therapy to help strengthen the muscles.Synflex Liquid Glucosamine is a dietary glucosamine supplement in liquid form that not only alleviates pain as well as NSAIDs, it comes without the dangerous side effects that NSAIDs produce. Syn-flex also has the ability to permanently inhibit osteoarthritis. How is this possible? Syn-flex Liquid Glucosamine consists of essential cartilage building blocks (glucosamine and chondroitin), anti-inflammatory ingredients (yucca, manganese ascorbate, bromelain, and boswellin) and other vitamins and minerals (omega fatty acids, vitamins c and d) that all work synergistically to provide pain relief, assist in repairing damaged cartilage, and helps build new, more sturdy ones and inhibit further cartilage destruction by blocking out inflammatory enzymes. As a glucosamine supplement, Synflex Liquid Glucosamine is one of the few which works fast and effectively.
