Padecimientos reumáticos en el adulto mayor

About this book

La artritis constituye un término que abarca más de 100 diferentes condiciones de daño articular. Entre ellas se incluye la osteoartrosis, también conocida como enfermedad articular degenerativa, la cual es el resultado de factores mecánicos y biológicos que desestabilizan el acoplamiento normal entre la degradación y la síntesis de los condrocitos del cartílago articular y del hueso subcondral. Es una enfermedad muy frecuente que en EUA afecta a más de 20 millones de personas, principalmente mayores de 60 años de edad. Su incidencia se incrementa con el envejecimiento, pero radiológicamente se encuentran indicios de cambios degenerativos a partir de los 50 años de edad. La osteoartrosis ocasiona discapacidad en cerca de l0% de las personas mayores de 60 años, con las consecuentes repercusiones económicas, por lo que actualmente es la segunda causa, después de la enfermedad coronaria, de discapacidad y dependencia funcional.
