By the year 2050, the number of arthritis patients in the world will reach 100 crores

By 2050, the number of patients suffering from arthritis in the world will reach 100 crores. In this disease, the flexible tissue at the end of the bone begins to lose. A study published in the medical journal The Lancet Rheumatology revealed that rheumatoid arthritis affects the joints. After analyzing data from more than 200 countries over the past 30 years, researchers have estimated that 15 percent of the world's population aged 30 or older is in the grip of the disease.

According to a study by the Washington-based Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), 59.5 million people were affected by arthritis in 2020, up from about 25.6 million in 1990. Between 1990 and 2020, the number of these patients has increased by about 132 percent. Aging, population growth and obesity are mainly responsible for this.

Being physically active has benefits

Lead research scientist Lian Ong said people with joint pain may benefit from being physically active. However, in most cases, the situation is the opposite, those who complain of joint pain become immobilized. Researchers say that any country can curb the growing scope of arthritis by identifying vulnerable populations and obesity factors through its health care system.

Obesity accounts for 16% of disability in patients

According to the study, obesity was responsible for 16 percent of disability in patients due to arthritis in 1990, which has risen to 20 percent in 2020. It is increasing continuously, on the basis of which it can be said that this situation can create more crisis in the coming years. Obesity, or a high body mass index (BMI), is a significant risk factor for the disease, said lead scientist Jamie Steinmetz. The increase in obesity rates over time has also played a major role in promoting this disease.
