High blood pressure affects the joints: the mechanism that worsens osteoarthritis when the tissue is already damaged or aged
World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported19m ago
High blood pressure can worsen osteoarthritis, the most common joint disorder, by activating a hormonal signal that accelerates cartilage loss in joints that are already injured or aged. In medical practice, arterial hypertension remains one of the most frequent cardiovascular risk factors while also being frequently underestimated by the general population.
Controlling blood pressure is highlighted as a critical, life-impacting decision in daily medical care, as the condition acts as an invisible enemy that impacts both cardiovascular health and degenerative joint conditions through specific biological mechanisms.
