A Guide to Joint Longevity
Notas del episodio
About 1 in 4 adults experience some form of arthritis. But when is joint pain a normal part of aging, and when is it something that warrants further evaluation — or may even be reversible?
On this episode of Aging Forward, rheumatologist Dr. Elena Myasoedova discusses three major types of arthritis: rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and crystalline arthritis. She explains the difference between degenerative and inflammatory arthritis, how periodontal health may affect joint health, and how to assess arthritic pain and know when to seek care.
