Knee arthritis or osteoarthritis is the most common disease that can affect people of all ages, but it is more common in older adults as cartilage naturally wears down over time (osteoarthritis). Individuals with autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis are also at risk, as the body’s immune system attacks the knee joint. Risk increases for those with previous knee injuries, obesity, or a family history of arthritis.
