Over one million cases of arthritis are reported in Nigeria each year and this disease has become increasingly common among the middle-age class, affecting the productivity and health-related quality of life of the average person.

In the past, arthritis was majorly seen within the older age groups from 60 years and above. Why are we seeing this transition? Are there lifestyle factors that predispose to arthritis? Are there steps we can take to prevent or control arthritis?

You are welcome to watch this recorded webinar on the causes of arthritis and the possible ways to prevent it.
