World Arthritis Day
Arthritis is a serious inflammatory disease of a joint or several joints.
October 12 in many countries, World Arthritis Day (World Arthritis Day), celebrated annually at the initiative of the World Health Organization (WHO) since 1996.
The main objectives of this Day are to attract the attention of the general public around the world to the problem of rheumatoid diseases, raise awareness of arthritis in all its forms, unite the efforts of doctors, patients and the public in addressing the issues of prevention, early diagnosis, medical and social rehabilitation of patients with this ailment.
Arthritis is a serious inflammatory disease of a joint or several joints, which, if untreated, leads not only to pain and restricted movement, but also to disability.
The causes of the appearance of the disease are different - often arthritis occurs with repeated minor injuries, open or closed injuries of the joints, with frequent physical over strain or with a genetic predisposition.
In addition, the development of arthritis is provoked by viral and bacterial infections, hypothermia, physical and mental overload, and even excessive smoking. In some cases, the factors of occurrence and the mechanisms of the disease are not fully elucidated.
The inflammatory process causes a violation of the structure and function of the joints, which leads to pain, stiffness, swelling, which ultimately leads to irreversible destruction and disability of the patient.
An arthritis is a large group of joint diseases that includes more than 100 diagnoses, the most common of which are arthrosis and rheumatoid arthritis.
The most dangerous thing is that anyone - from an infant to an old man - can be at risk of developing this disease. But the most often severe rheumatic diseases of the joints associated with the rapid development of arthritis, affect the working people of the planet - at the age of 30 to 50 years. By the way, women suffer from this disease 5 times more often than men.
And not always the diseases of the joints can be recognized immediately because of their “secrecy” and “disguise”, and later they need long-term and constant medical observation and treatment, and patients in rehabilitation and social adaptation. Therefore, underestimation of the importance of the problem associated with pain in the joints and spine leads to late referral of patients to doctors and, as a result, reduces the chances of patients to recover or achieve remission, increases the risk of developing disability.
Today, diseases of the joints have become literally a global problem. According to WHO, every tenth inhabitant of the planet suffers from arthritis. And over the past decade, the trend towards an increase in the number of diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue, including arthritis, has not decreased, and rheumatoid diseases occupy high positions in the ranking of the causes of morbidity and disability.
Therefore, it is important to remember that only early diagnosis and timely treatment can prevent serious consequences for the patient with arthritis. According to doctors, with early diagnosis and individually selected treatment of arthritis may be cured. Therefore, the diagnosis of arthritis is a very important step towards recovery, and modern methods of therapy can significantly improve the quality of life of patients.
And although the causes of arthritis are diverse, doctors agree that the best remedy for arthritis is prevention. To reduce the risk of developing these diseases, you can follow a few simple tips: visit the open air more often, give up bad habits, lead a healthy lifestyle, do not neglect exercise and proper nutrition. And all this - regardless of the age and occupation of the person. After all, it has long been no secret that the body’s ability to resist disease depends on its general physical condition and mental balance.
World Day to fighting arthritis, in connection with the breadth and seriousness of this problem, every year becomes more relevant. As part of this day, special attention is paid to the prevention of disease and measures that help to best coordinate actions in tandem: the patient and a doctor. At present, in more than 35 countries, on October 12, various events will be held to unite the efforts of patients and medical workers for effective cooperation aimed at combating arthritis.
