According to Arthritis Foundation's Guide to Good Living with Osteoarthritis, there are tree factors involved in causing osteoarthritis: genetic traits, obesity, and injury and overuse of joints.

For osteoarthritis patients, I will first check his/her weight. Being overweight puts even more pressure on these joints. For every pound of body weight you gain, your knees gain three pounds of added stress; for your hips, each additional pound translates into six times the pressure on these joints. After many years of carrying extra pounds, the cartilage that cushions your joints tends to break down more quickly than usual.

You can email me your phone number if you need more information. I'm not good at typing. My email is comparisonshop@gmail.com Good luck.
