Arthritis: A Public Health Problem

About 1 out of 5 adults and 1 out of 250 children suffer from some type of arthritis. In particular, Osteoarthritis in the knee shows recently an increasing frequency. A recent study suggests that the risk of developing Osteoarthritis in the knee is 47% and rises up to 58% in those who had injured the knee joint previously. Arthritis is the most common cause of disability within adults.

Risky Arthritis Side Effects
