Primary generalized (osteo)arthrosis - what does this mean
Primary generalized (osteo)arthrosis is a type of degenerative joint disease that results from the breakdown of cartilage in the joints due to wear and tear over time. this can lead to painful joint inflammation, stiffness, and decreased range of motion.
What happens during the disease - primary generalized (osteo)arthrosis
Primary generalized (osteo)arthrosis is a degenerative joint condition caused by the breakdown of joint cartilage and the underlying bone, resulting in joint pain, stiffness, and loss of mobility. it is thought to be caused by a combination of age-related wear and tear, genetic predisposition, and overuse of the joints. as the cartilage wears away, the underlying bone is exposed and begins to rub against other bones, leading to inflammation, pain, and stiffness. over time, the joint can become severely deformed and immobile, resulting in disability.

Primary generalized (osteo)arthrosis - Prevention
Primary generalized (osteo)arthrosis can be prevented by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, proper nutrition, and avoiding excessive stress. additionally, individuals should make sure to get enough rest and avoid activities that could cause further damage to the joints.
