Research Notes on Osteoarthritis Causes


There are various factors that may cause osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis occurs when cartilage in the joint deteriorates. This allows bones to become damaged and joints to become painful due to the bones rubbing together.1 Primary osteoarthritis is often connected to age. Other diseases or conditions are the cause of secondary osteoarthritis.2

Fast Facts:

  • In most cases, the exact cause of osteoarthritis is unknown.1
  • In some cases, genetics may be a factor in the development of osteoarthritis.2
  • Possible causes of secondary osteoarthritis include obesity, repeated trauma or surgery to the joint, abnormal joints at birth, gout, diabetes, and other hormone disorders.2
