AnnotationOsteoarthritis is one of the most common chronic diseases affecting older people. This book provides a multidisciplinary perspective on the links between ageing and the consequences of osteoarthritis. It looks at the relationship between ageing and disease in general, and examines the impact of osteoarthritis in the presence of other diseases that impair functional status. Prevention and intervention measures and therapies are also discussed, in particular the importance of physical activity and exercise.
