The most common are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are two kinds of arthritis patients is currently estimated at 1 million or more, and the number is growing. According to statistics, half of the population over age 50 suffer from osteoarthritis; 65 and 90% of people over the age of women and 80% of men suffer from osteoarthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis prevalence in China 0.34% 0.36% According to reports, severe cases of rheumatoid arthritis and shortened life expectancy of about 10 to 15 years. Arthritis refers to inflammation, infection, trauma or other causes of arthritis lesions, is a rheumatic disease subjects. Its main feature is joint swelling, heat, pain and dysfunction. Many diseases can cause arthritis lesions, the following is common in clinical practice.
osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease, bone and joint disease. Hyperostosis is closely related to human aging, most elderly people may be associated with osteoporosis [1] proliferation, natural prone to osteoarthritis. Clinical data show that people under the age of 45, osteoarthritis prevalence rate was only 2%, while the prevalence rate of people over the age of 65 up to 68%. In the medical view, Old people are suffering from varying degrees of osteoarthritis.
disease usually presents with rheumatoid arthritis
small joints (fingers, wrist, etc.) pain, and joint disease was symmetry. 80% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis in 35 to 50 years old, but the elderly, children also may be sick. Its etiology and genetics, infection, environment, immune complex relationship with the clinical is still not completely cure the disease can only be controlled through medication and maintain joint function.
ankylosing spondylitis
more performance for the spine, sacroiliac joints, axial joint disease. Etiology is unclear, is generally believed that genetic factors, environmental factors caused by the interaction. Disease is more common in men, age of onset before the age of 40 more serious cases can lead to spinal and joint deformities and affect their daily lives.
reactive arthritis due to intestinal system, urinary tract infection and other factors triggered by extra-articular inflammatory joint disease. Reducing infection rates and improve the immune system has a certain preventive effect.
gouty arthritis due to urate crystal deposition caused by arthritis. More acute onset of unilateral arthritis, sudden swelling in the foot big toe, pain is the main symptom, the pain, Prevention is to: be an effective antioxidant (such as astaxanthin and the like), to prevent the decomposition of nucleic acid oxidation, thereby reducing endogenous purine (80%) have, in turn reducing the production of uric acid. At the same time change their eating habits, eat less animal offal, seafood, beer, wine loaded with endogenous purine, thus reducing acid production. Arthritis produced by the process:
1. Healthy joints, including strong bones, it is mainly essential minerals in the formation of collagen matrix. There is a joint capsule containing synovial fluid, which protects the bones will not be the end of the impact of the adjacent bone and cartilage, because the synovial fluid can effectively lubricate joints.
2. Joint fatigue and dietary imbalances could lead to acidic, the cartilage will be immersed in the acidic degradation of body fluids, synovial fluid lubrication effect will be worse. Loss of cartilage components exist in cartilage and bone, causing bone ends and the formation of bone spurs become smooth (large bone protruding.) The resulting inflammation may limit movement of the joint.
3. Acidic people will cause a lot of calcium loss, the imbalance of calcium can cause calcium deposits in soft tissues, causing muscle pain, rheumatoid arthritis patients will be joining the bone ends, together. Related cause of arthritis can be divided according to: rheumatic, rheumatoid, traumatic, osteoarthritis and septic arthritis
1, rheumatoid arthritis is one of the manifestations of rheumatic fever, common in adults, often occurs in the knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist and other large joints, disease and more in the upper respiratory tract infection, the emergence of migratory joint pain, swelling and fever and other manifestations of rheumatic fever.
2, rheumatoid arthritis more common in young adults, onset is slow, often occurs in the hand, foot and sacroiliac joints and the Ministry of small and gradually involving the joints. Joint disease also showed initial redness, swelling, pain and inconvenience to other activities, for a long time the joint deformity or ankylosis.
3, traumatic arthritis, usually caused by trauma or persistent occurrence of chronic fatigue caused by degeneration of articular cartilage or the formation of bone spurs and joint disease showed swelling, pain and movement disorders, easy to place in discreet joints, such as the shoulder, knee, ankle and other joints, more common in athletes and young adults.
4, osteoarthritis is the most common joint disease, osteoarthritis of the names are many, such as hypertrophic osteoarthritis, degenerative arthritis, degenerative arthritis, hypertrophic osteoarthropathy inflammation or bone and joint disease, all refer to a disease, the domestic unity with osteoarthritis. The prevalence increases with age, more women than men hair. Osteoarthritis in the hands of the distal and proximal interphalangeal joint, knee, elbow and shoulder and spinal joints easily affected, and wrist and ankle joint is less disease. Osteoarthritis and by the degeneration caused by the accumulation of strain, common in obesity and overweight in the elderly, the most common site of disease is the knee, fingers, neck, spine, etc., the main symptoms of joint pain, stiffness (by a minor after the event will feel pain relief), there may be severe joint swelling, muscle atrophy.
