Eat Healthier in Hong Kong: What is Osteoarthritis | 香港食得更健康:什麼是骨關節炎?

Written by Thomas 撰寫人 Thomas

Last week we saw the first type of arthritis called gouty arthritis and it is mostly caused by the consumption of red meat, seafood, and alcohol. This week we have osteoarthritis, the most common arthritis of all. It is commonly called degenerative arthritis.

When we age, the cartilage on our joints start to wear caused by friction and reduced secretion of lubrication fluid for our cartilage. The prolonged friction between two bones caused the degradation of cartilage, hence osteoarthritis.

上星期的文章我們提及到因過量食用紅肉,海鮮及酒精導致的痛風。今次我們想介紹的是骨關節炎,又叫退化性關節炎,是最常見的關節炎。

當身體老化,於關節之間的軟骨會因摩擦及減小分泌潤滑液而導致軟骨磨損,造成骨關節炎。

 

Risk Factor | 風險

Previous joint injury and overuse. Age. Obesity.

過往關節傷患,過導使用。年紀。過重。

 

Prevention | 預防

Osteoarthritis is a disease caused by aging, there is no definitive method of prevention. However, obesity plays a role in worsening the prognosis, so reducing weight may help if one is overweight.

骨關節炎是因年紀身體老化導致的疾病,因此沒有一個有效的預防方法。但如果患者為過重人仕,減重則有機會減慢關節老化的速度。
