Aging: This is the most important natural cause in the body. As time goes by, the cartilage (the soft part that protects the bones from rubbing) between the bones naturally thins and weakens.
Obesity: Excessive weight puts excessive pressure on weight-bearing joints such as the knees, spine, and hips. This causes the cartilage to wear out quickly.
Lifestyle mistakes:
Sitting in the same position for a long time.
Excessively following the habit of sitting on the floor and getting up (putting more strain on the knees).
Lack of proper exercise (lack of muscle strength causes trauma to the joints).
Previous Injuries: Falls, accidents, or sports-related injuries in childhood can lead to wear and tear on the joints later.
Genetics: If your parents or close relatives have arthritis or wear and tear in your family, you are more likely to develop it.
Overuse: Jobs that require heavy physical labor and repetitive movements can wear down your joints quickly.
Nutritional deficiency: Vitamin D and calcium deficiency can affect bone strength and cause wear and tear.
