Passage B
Arthritis refers to the inflammation inside the joints of the body. There are many types of arthritis and in general the causes are still unknown. However, there are some risk factors for arthritis. These may include age, gender, lifestyle, and being overweight. Arthritis is the leading cause of physical disability, and one of the most frequently reported chronic conditions in the US. Those in mid-to-late life are particularly vulnerable to this disabling condition. According to the figure from the National Arthritis Data Workgroup, more than 21% of American adults (46 million) have arthritis and over 60% of arthritis patients are women. “The higher prevalence of arthritis in the US may be a consequence of obesity and physical inactivity, particularly in women.” noted Dr. Badley, the spokesman of the group.
There are more than 100 different types of arthritis. With age, the cartilage of the joints wears down; and that causes the most common type of arthritis, osteoarthritis. The treatment may vary depending on the type of arthritis the patient has. Treatment for arthritis generally involves pain management, exercise, and relaxation. The goals of arthritis treatment are to avoid pain and further destruction of the joint. One way is to avoid pain-causing activities. When the joint becomes painful, pain-killers and anti-inflammatory medication should be taken to relieve the pain and swelling. A physical therapist may advise routine exercise to help the patient maintain joint mobility. Besides, surgery to cure the joint damage may also be an option.
