Knee osteoarthritis is a common condition that affects millions of people around the world. It's a degenerative joint condition that causes the cartilage to break down over time which can lead to pain, stiffness and reduced mobility
While the exact causes of knee arthritis aren't fully understood there are several factors that are known to increase the risk of developing this condition:
- Age
- Genetics
- Obesity
- Activity
Recently completed my first marathon last year and am planning to run again in the 2023 New York City Marathon.
Study after study reveals that there is no conclusive evidence that running causes osteoarthritis of the knee!
