What are the effects of aging on the health of muscles and joints in women?

With aging, women experience natural wear and tear on muscles and joints. One cause of aches and pains is arthritis, or inflammation of the joints. There are over a hundred different forms of arthritis, some hereditary, some autoimmune, and some aggravated by other conditions.

Osteoarthritis, also called degenerative joint disease, is the most common type. It occurs when the cartilage that protects our joints loses its elasticity and wears away. Osteoarthritis can be related to repetitive stress from work, walking, or prior injury to bones and joints.

Immune-mediated arthritis diseases (sometimes called inflammatory arthritis) such as rheumatoid arthritis affect a much smaller segment of the population than osteoarthritis and may lead to total body fatigue, stiffness, and swelling. While arthritis is often diagnosed around the time of menopause, it is not clear if the hormone changes of menopause contribute to it.
