Some Risk Factors Involved in Hip Knee
Osteoarthritis

• Age is the major factor involved in
  osteoarthritis because its risk gets increased as
  you grow up. As women grow, there is wear and
  tear of bones involved which results in
  osteoarthritis.
• Joint Injuries and bone deformities involve the
  major risk factors in osteoarthritis. The
  injuries formed during the early stages of life
  results in osteoarthritis in later stages.

6

• Obesity plays a major role in developing
  osteoarthritis. The more you weigh greater is the
  risk involved. Increased weight adds extra stress
  on your hips and knees. The tissues cause wear
  and tear with the time that causes inflammation.
  However, with age, the risk gets so high that in
  later stages it results in surgeries.
