A form of rheumatological disease, Osteoarthritis is more than just aches and pains caused by ageing - it is in fact a complex autoimmune disease.

In Singapore, Osteoarthritis is the nineth leading cause of disability, affecting between 10% to 20% of the population. It is linked to age, obesity, sports injuries and may be hereditary. Osteoarthritis can also be associated with other forms of arthritis like rheumatoid arthritis and gout.
