Arthritis is a very common condition in Australia affecting people of all ages and from all walks of life. Its symptoms often have a big impact on the daily lives of people, and although arthritis can be difficult to live with, there are many simple measures that can help anyone manage their symptoms.Arthritis is often associated with older people, but sometimes it can also affect children. This is known as juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).

Yes arthritis doses affect a lot of people in older age and of course the type that affects younger people is worse because they are younger. In the Uk most people just accept that as you get older you will get arthritis or rheumatism. But there is medication and certain life style changes that people can make to try and help the situation.
